HB 297 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to eliminating certain state-required end-of-course assessment instruments not required by federal law and eliminating graduation requirements based on satisfactory performance on certain end-of-course assessment instruments.

HB 297 would remove certain state-mandated end-of-course exams that are not required by federal law and eliminate graduation requirements tied to passing those specific exams. The bill directly affects high school students in the state, particularly those who previously needed to meet scores on these assessments to graduate. Its key mechanism is eliminating the state's requirement for these exams and removing them as a condition for graduation. This change would reduce testing burdens for students and schools while aligning state policies with federal standards. (Note: Specific exam names or implementation details are not provided in the available context.)
