Texas HB4390 mandates parental notification and rescoring of student assessments if machine grading is used.

Texas HB4390 amends the Education Code to require the agency to notify parents if machine grading, including artificial intelligence or computer software, is used to score a student's constructed response on an assessment instrument. The notice must inform parents of their right to request rescoring using a traditional method, at no cost. If a parent requests rescoring and the student did not perform satisfactorily, the portion scored by machine must be rescored by a human. This Act applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
