Bill Analysis

SB 139 would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to develop a notice for distribution and posting on the TEA website that indicates: (1) changes made in reporting requirements for school districts and open-enrollment charter schools regarding the special education representation indicator adopted in the Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System Manual; and (2) the rights of a child under federal and state law, and the general process available to initiate referral of a child for an evaluation to determine the child's eligibility for special education services.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on SB 139 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
