HB 5 Update
|
House Bill 5 (commonly referred to as HB5) impacts many areas in
the Texas Education Code. The new law significantly changes the requirements for high school graduation, graduation planning and state testing requirements at all levels.
HB5 is designed to instill more flexibility in public education by enabling students to either pursue a traditional path into colleges and universities or move directly into the workforce to help fill what business leaders say is a critical skills shortage.
Students will be able to explore their individual interests as they prepare for higher education or the workforce.
Parents and students will hear more about HB5 in the coming weeks and months as Mansfield ISD prepares to meet the academic needs of each student.
