HB 1929 revises the administration of elections for board members of independent school districts in Texas. It requires all trustee positions to be filled at the first election following redistricting. It standardizes trustee terms to two years, replacing the current three- or four-year terms. The bill mandates that elections for school district trustees occur on the general election date for state and county officers. It removes provisions allowing elections on other dates and simplifies the election process for school boards, aligning it with broader election cycles. These changes take effect on September 1, 2025, with some transitional provisions expiring by January 1, 2029.
