§ 11.164. RESTRICTING WRITTEN INFORMATION. (a) The board
of trustees of each school district shall limit redundant requests
for information and the number and length of written reports that a
classroom teacher is required to prepare. A classroom teacher may
not be required to prepare any written information other than:
(1) any report concerning the health, safety, or
welfare of a student;
(2) a report of a student's grade on an assignment or
examination;
(3) a report of a student's academic progress in a
class or course;
(4) a report of a student's grades at the end of each
grade reporting period;
(5) a textbook report;
(6) a unit or weekly lesson plan that outlines, in a
brief and general manner, the information to be presented during
each period at the secondary level or in each subject or topic at
the elementary level;
(7) an attendance report;
(8) any report required for accreditation review;
(9) any information required by a school district that
relates to a complaint, grievance, or actual or potential
litigation and that requires the classroom teacher's involvement;
or
(10) any information specifically required by law,
rule, or regulation.
(b) The board of trustees shall review paperwork
requirements imposed on classroom teachers and shall transfer to
existing noninstructional staff a reporting task that can
reasonably be accomplished by that staff.
(c) This section does not preclude a school district from
collecting essential information, in addition to information
specified under Subsection (a), from a classroom teacher on
agreement between the classroom teacher and the district.
