Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to collect data about school districts' disciplinary actions that result in the removal of a student from their regular education program. The bill would require school districts to report data on discretionary disciplinary placement of students to the TEA and require the agency to evaluate the data to determine whether the placements were excessive in number, discriminatory in nature, or excessive in length of stay. TEA would be required to adopt minimum educational standards for in-school suspension settings. The bill would require school districts to report information about their in-school suspension programs to TEA.
