HB 756 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the requirements for the revision of a charter for an open-enrollment charter school.

HB 756 sets new rules for how open-enrollment charter schools in Texas can expand or revise their charters. It requires charter schools to get commissioner approval for major changes like adding campuses, increasing student capacity, expanding grade levels, or changing geographic boundaries - limiting such requests to once per biennium. The commissioner must deny approval if the school hasn't served at least the state average of students eligible for special education services (under Chapter 29) in each of the previous two years. This bill directly affects charter schools seeking expansion, ensuring they meet student eligibility benchmarks before growing.
