House Bill 572 amends the Education Code to classify a student who is under 26 years of age and is enrolled in a dropout recovery school as a "student at risk of dropping out of school" for purposes of a public school district's provision of compensatory, intensive, and accelerated instruction.
House Bill 572 also requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to conduct a study on the implementation of competency-based educational programs by public schools and to report the results to the legislature. Implementation by TEA of the bill's provisions relating to the study is mandatory only if a specific appropriation is made for that purpose.
