HB 3703 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the applicability of certain laws governing public school requirements to a school district of innovation.

HB 3703 clarifies that school districts designated as "districts of innovation" in Texas must comply with specific state education laws they previously could exempt themselves from. The bill requires these districts to follow all state curriculum and graduation requirements (Chapter 28), class size limits (Section 25.112), discipline rules (Chapter 37), and accountability measures (Chapters 39-39A), among other core requirements. Existing innovation plans must align with these rules by September 1, 2025, and new plans must comply from the start. The bill directly affects Texas school districts operating under the "innovation district" model, ensuring they adhere to fundamental public school standards.
