The requirement

What Texas law asks of school districts

School districts are local governments under Texas cybersecurity law, so the annual training requirement that began with House Bill 3834 applies to them. It now sits in Texas Government Code Chapter 2063, administered by the Texas Cyber Command (TXCC).

Who must train

District employees who use a computer for at least 25% of their duties, which includes nearly every teacher, plus elected trustees.

A certified program

Training must be a state-certified program. This course is TXCC-certified for fiscal year 2026-2027 under Section 2063.102.

Every school year

Completion is tracked by the state fiscal year, September 1 through August 31, which lines up neatly with the school year.

Foreign adversary rules

Section 572.070 rules on gifts, travel, and reporting apply to employees and volunteers of political subdivisions, including districts. Module 4 covers them.

This page summarizes common obligations under Texas Government Code Chapter 2063 and Section 572.070. Confirm the requirements for specific positions with your legal counsel.
