SB 900 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the inclusion of a school safety domain for evaluating districts and campuses under the public school accountability system.

This bill requires Texas public school districts and campuses to include school safety as one of four domains when evaluating performance under the state accountability system. The legislation mandates that safety indicators measure whether schools provide a secure learning environment alongside existing metrics for student achievement, equity, and community information. By adding safety as a formal evaluation category, the bill ensures that campus security conditions are systematically assessed alongside academic performance. This change directly affects all public schools in Texas by integrating safety data into the official accountability framework used to judge district and campus effectiveness.
