Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 457 amends the Education Code to exclude from a school campus or district dropout count a student who fails to enroll in school after being released from a juvenile detention or correctional facility or after leaving a residential treatment center where the student received treatment for fewer than 85 days unless the campus or district serving the facility or center is the one to which the student is regularly assigned as an established resident of that district.

House Bill 457 applies to the computation of dropout rates beginning with the computation for the 2001-2002 school year.
