Texas SB788 amends the Education Code to allow for accountability interventions for school districts with low-performing campuses.

Texas SB788 amends Section 39A.111 of the Education Code to allow the commissioner to order specific interventions for school districts with campuses that have an unacceptable performance rating for five consecutive years. These interventions include appointing a board of managers to govern the school district, closing the campus, or taking any other action authorized under Section 39A.002. The bill takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Texas Legislature, otherwise it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
