The bill, H.B. No. 4128, amends the Education Code to enhance the provision of accelerated instruction for public school students who do not achieve satisfactory performance on specific assessment instruments in grades three through eight and for end-of-course assessments. The amendment to Section 28.0211(a-1) removes the requirement for accelerated instruction to occur "during the subsequent summer or school year" and instead mandates that school districts provide accelerated instruction in the applicable subject area. Additionally, it allows for the assignment of a certified master, exemplary, or recognized teacher for the following school year or the provision of supplemental instruction.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Sections 28.0211(a-2) and (a-3), streamlining the process for providing support to students who struggle with assessments. The changes outlined in this bill will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year, and it will become effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
