Relating to the election of the board of trustees of certain school districts and the powers and duties of the board of trustees of school districts.

SB 2822 changes how school boards are elected in large Texas districts. It requires school districts in counties with 3.3 million or more residents to elect four board members at-large and five from single-member districts. The bill also adds a provision allowing parents to exempt students from school uniform requirements due to religious or philosophical objections. Additionally, it makes teacher grades final unless they are arbitrary, erroneous, or violate district policy, with no appeal process for such grade determinations. These changes directly affect school districts in populous counties and their students, parents, and board members.
