Relating to the implementation of certain rules regarding public school accountability adopted by the commissioner of education or the Texas Education Agency.

HB 825 delays the implementation of certain public school accountability rules adopted by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) or the commissioner of education. Specifically, it requires these rules to take effect no earlier than the second school year after adoption, unless law mandates a faster timeline. The bill applies only to rules adopted on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote). This change gives school districts more time to adjust to new accountability standards.
