SB 877 aims to create an Office of Inspector General within the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to investigate allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse in public education administration. The office would have broad powers to conduct investigations, including the ability to subpoena records and access meetings of school districts, charter schools, and educational service centers. The bill mandates the TEA commissioner to appoint the inspector general, who would have authority to initiate forensic audits and recommend corrective actions.
