Relating to the accessibility of results from the state assessment.
HB 5263 requires Texas education agencies to make student state assessment results accessible to parents through a simplified online process. Specifically, it mandates that parents can access their child's test results with no more than one click from the agency's website, using secure, student-specific identifiers controlled solely by the parent or guardian without needing third-party verification. The bill directly affects parents of students taking state-mandated assessments under Section 39.023 of the Education Code. It takes effect September 1, 2025, aiming to streamline access to assessment data while maintaining security protocols.
