Texas SB582 regulates the disclosure of preliminary reports from special investigations by the Texas Education Agency.

Texas SB582 amends the Education Code to modify the disclosure rules for preliminary reports from special investigations conducted by the Texas Education Agency. Generally, these reports and supporting materials are exempt from public disclosure. However, if the commissioner takes action based on the preliminary findings and has not issued a final report within 91 days, the report becomes public information. School districts can release such reports only if approved by a board of trustees vote. Any identifying information of witnesses in these reports must be redacted.
