HB 5516 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to an application for the establishment of a new open-enrollment charter school campus or site.

HB 5516 requires charter schools seeking to open a new campus or site to submit a zip code with their application. The bill mandates that the state education agency prepare a fiscal report estimating the 10-year cost to the state and potential revenue loss for affected school districts. It also requires the agency to post applications and reports online and notify school district leaders and local legislators before a campus is approved. This directly affects charter school operators, school districts that may lose students, and state legislators representing the affected areas. The bill creates a standardized process for reviewing new campus applications while ensuring transparency about financial impacts.
