HB 5230 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to emergency response management training for certain administrators and security personnel at public schools.

HB 5230 requires public school administrators and security personnel to complete emergency response management training. The bill amends the Education Code to mandate this training as part of existing school safety requirements under sections like 37.0814 and 37.108. It directly affects all public school staff in these roles across Texas, aligning their training with current safety standards. The law would enhance preparedness for emergencies like active threats or natural disasters by ensuring staff are trained in response protocols. This is a policy change focused on school safety, not speculative outcomes.
