The bill, S.B. No. 564, amends the Education Code to establish new provisions regarding the management of school districts and campuses under certain circumstances. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection (c) to Section 39A.051, which states that if the commissioner appoints a conservator or board of managers due to a campus's performance, the board of trustees will regain management of the campus or district once each campus involved receives an acceptable performance rating. This change aims to streamline the process of restoring local governance when performance improves.

Additionally, Section 39A.209(a) is amended to clarify that the commissioner shall remove a board of managers only if each campus that led to their appointment achieves an acceptable performance rating, eliminating the previous requirement for two consecutive years of acceptable ratings. The bill is set to take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, with provisions for immediate effect if passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of the legislature.
