The bill, H.B. No. 3190, proposes several amendments to the Education Code and Labor Code concerning school operations and personnel. Key changes include the stipulation that local innovation plans cannot exempt districts from specific requirements, including class size limits and state curriculum standards. Additionally, it mandates that contracts between school districts and teachers cannot require more than 510 minutes of work per day. The bill also introduces new requirements for school districts to post class sizes and nurse availability on their websites, as well as to notify parents and teachers of any bomb threats or terroristic threats.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a custodian workload policy that requires school boards to set benchmarks for custodial services and to make this policy publicly available online. It also clarifies that certain individuals, specifically those who only drive school buses, are not subject to specific unemployment compensation provisions. The amendments will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, with some provisions applying only to contracts and claims filed after the bill's effective date.
