The bill, H.B. No. 2987, amends Section 11.251 of the Education Code to require school district boards to annually certify to the agency that they have established the necessary district- and campus-level planning and decision-making committees. This certification must be done in accordance with rules set by the commissioner. The new language added to the law specifies this requirement, ensuring accountability in the establishment of these committees.

The provisions of this bill will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year. Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will become effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
