HB 5125 enhances public school transparency and accountability by requiring school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to post all rules, policies, and procedures applicable to students and staff online. It mandates that school boards allow public comment at meetings and address raised issues during the same session. The bill also requires the Texas Education Agency to develop a grievance portal for filing and tracking complaints. Additionally, a new “transparency and accountability” domain is added to the school accountability rating system​.
