Relating to a study by the Texas Education Agency regarding recommended standards for school district facility maintenance and custodial services.
HB 1679 requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to study recommended standards for school district facility maintenance and custodial services, including appropriate custodial workloads. The study must examine factors like school size (elementary, middle, high), required tasks with time estimates, staffing needs, and potential funding gaps. The TEA must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the legislature by December 1, 2026. This bill does not create new laws but mandates a study to inform future policy decisions about school facility upkeep.
