HB 18 by Leibowitz
Authorizes money from DFPS gifts or grants to be used to develop and operate an anti-bullying hotline, in association with the Texas Abuse/Neglect Hotline. The hotline must let public school students report bullying via a toll-free phone number or online; a related website may include information on prevention and education re: unwanted physical or verbal aggression, sexual harassment, and other bullying at school or school-related activities (including on buses and at bus stops). Reports of bullying will be forwarded to the principal of the school at which the accused aggressor is enrolled, or if the aggressor is not enrolled in school, to the appropriate local law enforcement agency.
HB 41 by Corte
Voucher program limited to the six largest districts as determined by the commissioner in 2010. To be eligible, a child must be educationally disadvantaged, be enrolled in school the previous year or enrolling in pre-K through first grade for the first time, and either have failed the most recent assessment or have been eligible for a PEG transfer but was rejected.
Voucher continues through graduation unless the child re-enrolls in public school after receiving a voucher, or moves out of the district. The amount of the voucher is the total average per student M&O funding, both state and local, of the district. The child is included in the ADA of the district. If the private school tuition is lower, the district receives the difference.
A participating private school must be accredited, and must administer the assessments that would be required in the public school. The school may not discriminate based on residence, race, national origin, ethnic background, religion, disability, or academic achievement. It can refuse enrollment of a child who has been expelled from public school or has a criminal history. Athletic ability may not be considered.
HB 53 by Branch
Currently, school districts with high property wealth per weighted student have that wealth recaptured for any amounts above $319,500. The exceptions to this are the 6 cents of tax effort (called golden pennies) that districts can raise above the amount to which their taxes were compressed by the last school finance bill (usually, this is one dollar). HB 53 would eliminate that cap and replace it with a floating cap equal to the property wealth per student of the district at the 88th percentile in wealth per student.
HB 54 by Branch
For property-wealthy (Chapter 41) districts, requires that the tax bill/statement must separately state the percentage of the district's taxes that must be used to enable the district to achieve the equalized wealth level.

(3-24-09 H Committee action pending House Public Education)
Revises the current Student Success Initiative (which requires students to pass assessments at grades 3, 5 and 8 in order to be promoted) to address intervention strategies for students who initially fail the required assessment. After the first failure, a Grade Placement Committee (GPC) composed of the principal/designee, parent/guardian and appropriate subject area teacher, must prescribe an educational plan and an accelerated instruction plan, said instruction to include 10:1 student teacher ratios, before the second administration of the test. The district must provide notice to parents of the test failure, the education plan, the opportunity for a second test, and the possibility of retention.
After a second failure, the GPC determines whether the student should be promoted. The GPC may approve promotion if the student has demonstrated TEKS competency, based on evidence of satisfactory performance such as grades, portfolios, etc.; and allowing for extenuating circumstances that have adversely affected the student's participation in the required assessments. If the decision is made to retain (the decision must be unanimous), a third test-taking opportunity will be provided, though the student/parent may decline. Note that under current law, a decision to promote must be unanimous.
At any point during a school year, a teacher determining that a student (in 3rd, 5th, or 8th grade) is not performing at grade level, the teacher must notify parents and request a parent conference.
Law allowing administration of an alternative assessment after two failures is repealed.
