Relating to assessment and reporting requirements regarding safety and security in public schools.
HB 4548 requires Texas public school districts to report specific safety incidents, including firearm discoveries on campuses and emergency responses, to the Texas Education Agency. It mandates submission of data on threat assessments, vulnerability assessments, and intruder detection audits conducted under existing law. The bill explicitly prohibits the agency from dictating how districts submit reports or what materials they must use for threat assessments. This law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, applying directly to all Texas public school districts.
