The bill, S.B. No. 2894, mandates that each school district in Texas adopt a policy regarding custodian workloads for district facilities. Specifically, the bill requires the board of trustees to establish benchmarks for the amount of square footage that can be assigned to a properly equipped school custodian for maintenance and custodial services during an eight-hour shift. These benchmarks must be categorized by the type of campus—elementary, middle, and high schools—as well as other district facilities. Additionally, the adopted policy must be posted on the school district's website.

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