The bill amends Section 28.025(e-2) of the Education Code to enhance the reporting requirements for public school districts regarding high school performance acknowledgments earned by students. Specifically, it mandates that at the end of each school year, districts must report the number of students who were enrolled in the foundation high school program, pursuing the distinguished level of achievement, enrolled in a program to earn an endorsement, and earned each type of performance acknowledgment. The previous language that required reporting only the first three categories has been deleted, and a new requirement to report the number of students who earned performance acknowledgments has been added.

This legislation will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year and will be implemented immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses. If not, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.
