Relating to parental rights regarding the use of machine grading to score certain portions of assessment instruments administered to public school students in this state.

HB 4390 requires Texas public schools to notify parents in writing when machine grading (including AI or software) scores constructed responses on student assessments. Parents may then request manual rescoring of those portions at no cost, using traditional methods without machine grading. The bill directly affects parents and students in Texas public schools, applying to assessments administered starting the 2025-2026 school year. It creates a specific process for parental notification and manual rescoring, focusing on transparency around automated scoring systems. The law does not change assessment content or standards, only the scoring notification and rescoring procedures.
