Senate Bill 493 amends the Education Code to require the commissioner of education at least once each even-numbered year to review and reduce, to the maximum extent practicable, school district reporting and paperwork requirements and to adopt a policy that limits the written reports and other paperwork that the Texas Education Agency may require of a principal or classroom teacher. The bill allows the commissioner to authorize special accreditation investigations in response to repeated complaints to the agency about excessive paperwork requirements imposed on classroom teachers.
