Bill > HB4678

This bill modifies the Texas Education Code by adding a new provision that requires explicit board approval from two school districts before one district can contract to operate a campus located in another district's territory. Specifically, the bill mandates that a school district seeking to operate a campus within another district's boundaries must first obtain a majority vote from the board of trustees of both the operating district and the district where the campus is physically located. This new requirement adds an extra layer of local governance and collaboration, ensuring that both school districts have a say in cross-district campus operations. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving school districts time to understand and prepare for the new approval process. By requiring mutual consent, the legislation aims to promote transparency and cooperative decision-making between school districts when considering campus operations outside of their original jurisdictional boundaries.
