H.B. No. 5418 proposes amendments to the composition of the board of directors of the Texas School Safety Center. The bill modifies Section 37.203(a)(6) of the Education Code by replacing the requirement for a member of the state parent-teacher association with a new requirement for a parent of a student enrolled in a public primary or secondary school who is not an employee of a school district. This change aims to ensure that the board includes a representative who is directly connected to the student body without being part of the school staff.

The bill retains other existing board member requirements, including positions for a juvenile court judge, school district trustee, public school administrators, a teacher, a public school superintendent, a school district police officer, a registered architect, and three public members. The act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature or on September 1, 2025, if such a vote is not achieved.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Education Code 37.203 (Education Code 37)
