House Bill 426 amends the Education Code to require each school district's disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) to provide not less than the seven-hour minimum of instructional time per day required by law for the regular school day. The bill also requires the Texas Education Agency to adopt minimum standards for DAEP operations, including standards relating to student/teacher ratios; student health and safety; reporting of student abuse, neglect, or exploitation; teacher training in behavior management and safety procedures; and planning for a student's transition from a DAEP to a regular campus.
