Texas lawmakers are pushing for stricter rules on teacher-student communication, aiming to ban private texts, social media, and personal emails between educators and students — a move sparked by rising misconduct cases and a push for statewide consistency. With the Texas Education Agency spotlighting educator misconduct and launching a public dashboard tracking reports — 15% of which involve inappropriate relationships — legislators like Rep. Jeff Leach are drafting bills to force all communications onto monitored school platforms. As San Antonio educators face charges tied to private messaging, Texas joins states like Oklahoma in seeking safer boundaries, balancing student protection with educators’ professional needs.
