Relating to continuing education requirements for a member of the board of trustees of a school district regarding state laws governing public schools; providing a civil penalty.

HB 1124 requires school board trustees in Texas public school districts to complete annual training on state education laws, covering topics like district governance, ethics, open meeting rules, fiduciary duties, nepotism prohibitions, and legislative updates on instructional materials, diversity initiatives, and student athletics. Trustees who fail to complete this training face a $500 civil penalty and risk losing district-provided liability insurance coverage. The law applies directly to all school board members and takes effect September 1, 2025. This bill aims to standardize trustee knowledge of legal obligations under Texas education law.
