The bill, S.B. No. 1764, amends the Education Code to enhance accountability interventions for school districts with low-performing campuses. Specifically, it stipulates that if 10 percent of campuses in a school district receive an unacceptable performance rating for five consecutive years, the commissioner may order the appointment of a board of managers to govern the district or take any action authorized under Section 39A.002. This replaces the previous requirement that the commissioner shall order the closure of the campus.

Additionally, the bill modifies the conditions under which a board of managers can be removed. It now states that the commissioner shall remove a board of managers only if each campus that led to the board's appointment receives an acceptable performance rating for two consecutive school years. This change emphasizes a more structured approach to accountability and intervention in low-performing school districts. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that vote is not achieved.
