UT HB0407

Local education agencies (LEAs) must use compliant student information systems for all student data collection, management, and reporting by July 1, 2031, with phased implementation beginning no earlier than July 1, 2028

Student information systems must capture school safety data including incident reports, behavioral threat assessments, and threat assessment team documentation, with integration to the public safety portal

State board establishes voluntary vendor certification program for student information system vendors, with annual recertification and published list of certified vendors on state board website

Noncompliance enforcement includes 90-day cure periods, followed by 10% reduction in LEA head compensation, potential withholding of state funding, and required corrective action plans

LEAs may use authorized interoperable data exchange frameworks as alternative method for transmitting required data to state board systems without requiring centralized data storage or duplicate statewide warehouses
