Tatum ISD board designates 10 non-business days under HB 3033 for 2025-26
Summary
Superintendent Dr. J.P. Richardson briefed the board on HB 3033 requirements; the board unanimously approved a designation of 10 non-business days under the Texas Public Information Act for calendar year 2025-26 at the Aug. 11 meeting.
Superintendent Dr. J.P. Richardson asked the Tatum ISD Board to approve the HB 3033 designation of 10 non-business days for calendar year 2025-26, explaining the legislative change affects how districts calculate response deadlines under the Texas Public Information Act. Curt Smith moved to approve the designation; Matt Crawford seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
According to the minutes, Dr. Richardson explained that "due to HB 3033 districts can no longer rely on the school calendar holidays for meeting the deadline to respond to a Public Information Request. HB 3033 requires districts to designate no more than 10 days per calendar year that the district will be closed or working with limited staff in responding to a PIR." The board's recorded action was approval; the minutes do not list specific calendar dates for the 10 non-business days, only the decision to adopt the designation requirement for 2025-26.
