SB 2934 amends the Texas Education Code to restrict the assignment of public school students in grades 1 through 6 to uncertified teachers in districts with 5,000 or more students. Under the bill, students cannot be assigned to a teacher who lacks both one year of teaching experience and the appropriate certification for two consecutive years, except when a parent and school counselor or administrator agree to the assignment or if the assignment occurs during the student’s first year after transferring into the district. The Texas Commissioner of Education may grant waivers for districts facing extreme circumstances. The act applies beginning with the 2025–2026 school year and takes effect on September 1, 2025, unless enacted earlier by the legislature.
