The bill, H.B. No. 2569, amends Section 12A.004(a) of the Education Code to clarify the applicability of certain parental notification requirements to school districts designated as districts of innovation. Specifically, it inserts a requirement that these districts must adhere to parental notification requirements under Section 21.057, as well as state curriculum and graduation requirements adopted under Chapter 28. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language regarding exemptions, allowing districts to be exempt from specific sections of Chapter 11 while maintaining accountability standards under Chapters 39 and 39A.

Furthermore, the amended provisions will apply to all local innovation plans adopted under Chapter 12A, regardless of their adoption date, with a compliance deadline set for September 1, 2025, for plans adopted or renewed prior to the effective date of the Act. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
