Relating to the capacity and usage of school district facilities and the transfer of students between school districts.
HB 3998 requires Texas school districts to annually report detailed facility data to the Texas Education Agency, including square footage, student capacity, current enrollment, facility usage (e.g., classrooms, cafeterias), vacant land, and ownership status. The agency must compile this into a public annual report, though security-sensitive details may be kept confidential. The bill also adds penalties for falsifying enrollment information, making individuals liable for district costs if ineligible students are enrolled based on false data. This directly affects school districts by mandating new reporting requirements and impacts public transparency regarding school facility usage.
