Bill Caption

Relating to training requirements for a member of the board of trustees of an independent school district.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

HB 690 would require ISD trustees to complete a school safety training. This training would be developed by the State Board of Education in coordination with the Texas School Safety Center.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral toward HB 690. While we support adequate school safety, we are skeptical of the state's ability to develop a one-size-fits-all training for school board members that will truly make schools safer.
