The bill, S.B. No. 514, mandates the Texas Education Agency to create an annual School District Profile Report by December 31 each year. This report will be made available on the agency's website and will provide an overview of public education at both the state and school district levels for the preceding school year. The report is required to include multiple browsable and downloadable data elements, which will consist of summary tables based on specific characteristics of school districts and detailed data on individual districts. Additionally, it must feature a peer search function for users to group school districts by shared characteristics and provide definitions for each data element along with the source of the data.

The new section added to the Education Code, Section 7.009, outlines these requirements, ensuring that the report is comprehensive and user-friendly. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
