Texas SB787 mandates reporting student deaths on school campuses through the Public Education Information Management System.

Texas SB787 amends the Education Code to require the commissioner to mandate school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to report student deaths on campuses. The bill also requires reporting on various student metrics, including those identified with dyslexia, truancy prevention measures, and students enrolled in high school equivalency programs. This reporting requirement applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year. If the bill receives a two-thirds vote in both houses, it takes effect immediately; otherwise, it takes effect September 1, 2025.
