The 89th Texas Legislature introduced significant changes to investigating and reporting prospective and current employee misconduct by adding Chapter 22A of the Texas Education Code, effective June 20, 2025, and HB 4623, effective September 1, 2025. These laws strengthen pre-hiring requirements, expand misconduct reporting obligations, and increase liability for school districts and administrators who fail to address sexual misconduct or child abuse.
This webinar will help superintendents and administrators navigate these mandates carefully, ensuring thorough vetting of employees and service providers, prompt reporting of misconduct, and compliance with new timelines to avoid penalties, including fines, felony charges, and certificate revocation.
