Relating to a study by the Texas Education Agency and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board regarding standardizing transcripts for public schools.

SB 2465 requires the Texas Education Agency and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to study standardizing high school transcripts across public schools. The study will assess the feasibility of a statewide transcript format to speed up and improve accuracy when sending transcripts to colleges, while examining issues like processing time differences between public/private schools, errors with the National Student Clearinghouse's SPEEDE system, and problems with Texas's TREx transcript system. It does not create new standards but mandates a report by September 2026 with recommendations for potential legislative action. The bill expires September 2027, meaning this study is the only immediate action required. This affects public schools, colleges, and students by potentially improving transcript transmission processes in the future.
