Relating to a requirement to report through the Public Education Information Management System the number of student deaths occurring on a school district or open-enrollment charter school campus.
SB 787 requires Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to report the number of student deaths occurring on each campus to the state through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS). Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, schools must include this data in their annual reports, alongside other existing metrics like enrollment and attendance. The bill adds this specific reporting requirement to the Education Code without changing school safety protocols or investigation procedures. It ensures consistent statewide data collection on campus fatalities for accountability purposes.
