HB 5125 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to measures to ensure public school transparency and accountability, including school district board of trustees meeting requirements, posting of certain information on a public school's Internet website, the creation of a grievance portal, and the inclusion of a transparency and accountability domain in the public school accountability system.

HB 5125 requires Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to post all student and staff rules, policies, and procedures on their public websites within 30 days of adoption or modification. It mandates that school board meetings document attendance, allow public comment at every meeting, and address comments during the same session. The bill also creates a state-developed online grievance portal for filing, tracking, and resolving complaints about schools. Finally, it adds a "transparency and accountability" category to the state's public school accountability system, directly affecting how districts are evaluated.
