HB 5423 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to an annual report published by the Texas Education Agency regarding public school campus closures.

HB 5423 requires the Texas Education Agency to publish an annual report by January 31 each year detailing public school campus closures from the previous calendar year. The report must break down closures by grade level (elementary, middle, junior high, or high school) and be submitted to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house, and all state legislators. This bill directly affects school districts and open-enrollment charter schools by mandating transparency around campus closures, without changing closure policies or procedures. The report's purpose is to provide lawmakers and the public with clear data on which school levels experienced closures annually. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
