Relating to a handbook on parental rights in education and training requirements on parental rights in education for a member of the board of trustees of a school district.
HB 1137 requires Texas school board trustees to complete annual training on parental rights in education and mandates the Texas Education Agency to create a publicly accessible handbook explaining these rights. The handbook must be written in plain language, updated yearly, and available online in a searchable format. This bill directly affects school board members (who must complete the training) and parents (who gain clearer access to their educational rights). Key deadlines include developing the training by January 1, 2026, and creating the handbook by the same date.
