House Bill 1605 Webinar Series
TEA is hosting a series of webinars to address components of House Bill (HB) 1605 that are most relevant to local educational agencies (LEAs). Series topics were prioritized by the effective date of sections of the bill and their impact on LEAs. Based on feedback from the field, we are shifting the timing and topics to better meet the needs of districts.
