Relating to notice of certain misconduct committed by a public school educator.
SB 2278 requires Texas public school districts and charter schools to send written notice to parents or guardians when an investigation suggests a school educator committed specific misconduct with a student enrolled at the school. The notice must be sent by mail or, if mail is deemed too costly, by email. This law applies starting the 2025-2026 school year, ensuring parents are informed about potential educator misconduct involving their child.
