Relating to abolishing certain county boards of education, boards of county school trustees, and offices of county school superintendent.

HB 1961 abolishes county boards of education, county school trustees boards, and county school superintendent offices in Texas counties with populations of 3.3 million or more (like Harris and Dallas counties), effective September 1, 2025. It transfers all assets, liabilities, and contracts of these abolished entities to the county commissioners court, which must distribute remaining assets to school districts proportionally based on student enrollment as of May 1, 2025. The bill also modifies the Election Code to remove "county school trustee" from the list of county offices. This changes governance structures for large-county school systems by shifting oversight to county commissioners courts and school districts.
