Relating to the creation of grievance boards with concurrent jurisdiction over certain appeals involving the administration of public education.

SB 813 creates regional grievance boards within Texas public education to handle specific appeals, directly affecting school employees, parents, and students. These boards - composed of five members (a school administrator, two teachers, and two parents from the region) - will share jurisdiction with the state commissioner for grievances involving school board decisions, state education laws, or employment contract violations causing monetary harm. Appeals must be filed within 60 days after exhausting local school district procedures, and boards must issue decisions within 60 days (or 90 days for board decisions) using a substantial evidence review. The bill establishes a new, regional-level appeals process parallel to the existing commissioner route for defined education-related disputes.
