Relating to training requirements for public school teachers under the school's multihazard emergency operations plan.
HB 1202 requires all Texas public school teachers (including substitutes and guest teachers) to receive in-person training on their school's emergency plan before teaching in the classroom. The training covers the school's multihazard emergency operations plan, which addresses various disaster scenarios. This applies to all public school teachers starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill amends the Education Code to mandate this pre-employment training requirement for every teacher district.
