| TX | Signed into law 05/2007 | P-12 | From bill analysis: Currently, a school district employee who needs to report a grievance against a supervisor must report the grievance to their supervisor if the school district to which the employee belongs does not have a provision in its grievance policy to allow employees to report a grievance to another supervisor. H.B. 1622 requires that the grievance policy of a school district include a provision allowing employees to report a grievance against a supervisor to a supervisor other than the supervisor against whom a grievance is being reported.
