Relating to the applicability to private schools of laws relating to the reporting to law enforcement of certain employee misconduct.

HB 4527 requires private schools in Texas to follow the same mandatory reporting laws as public school districts for certain employee misconduct, including child abuse or neglect. It directly affects private schools by mandating that their administrators and employees report such incidents to law enforcement, aligning their obligations with those of public school districts under Section 261.101 of the Family Code. The bill amends the Education Code to explicitly extend these reporting requirements to private schools as if they were public school districts. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
