Bill > HB4574

This bill modifies the Texas Education Code to require the commissioner of education to provide written notice of an appeal to both the superintendent and the board of trustees of a school district that is the subject of a grievance. Specifically, when an appeal is made under Section 7.057(a)(2) of the Education Code, the commissioner must send written notification to the school district's top administrative leader (the superintendent) and the district's governing body (the board of trustees). The bill will apply to appeals submitted on or after its effective date, which is September 1, 2025, meaning that appeals submitted before this date will be governed by the previous version of the law. This change appears designed to ensure that school district leadership is promptly and directly informed about appeals filed against the district, potentially improving communication and transparency in the educational administrative process.
