Summary

Name change, replacement, new assignment or firing. Parents hear as soon as practicable.

The bill requires a school district to notify parents as soon as practicable when their child's teacher or long-term substitute formally changes their name with the district, is replaced, is moved to a new assignment, or is fired. It touches every Texas school district, its teachers and long-term substitutes, and the parents of enrolled students. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, parents get a notice whenever one of those four changes happens to their child's assigned teacher.
