      On page 1, line 18 add a new section to read as follows:
      Section __. Section 37.004, Education Code is amended to read
as follows:
      (a) The placement of a student with a disability who receives
special education services may be made only by a duly constituted
admission, review and dismissal committee.  A student with a
disability who receives special education services may not be
placed in alternative education programs solely for educational
purposes if the student does not also meet the criteria for
alternative placement in Section 37.006(a) or Section 37.007(a).
      (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter,
the placement of a student with a disability who receives special
education services and is expelled under a provision of Section
37.007 described by this subsection shall be made only by a duly
constituted admission, review, and dismissal committee.  In a
county in which a juvenile justice alternative education program is
established under Section 37.011, the administrator or designee of
the juvenile justice alternative education program shall be
provided reasonable notice of the admission, review, and dismissal
committee meeting in accordance with applicable federal law, and a
representative of the juvenile justice alternative education
program shall attend the admission, review, and dismissal committee
meeting to assist in determining the appropriateness of the
placement of the student in the juvenile justice alternative
education program.  This subsection applies only to an expulsion
order under:
            (1) Section 37.007(b), (c), or (f); or
            (2) Section 37.007(d) as a result of conduct that
contains the elements of any offense listed in Section 37.007(b)(3)
against any employee or volunteer in retaliation for or as a result
of the person's employment or association with a school district.
      (c) If after placement of a student in a juvenile justice
alternative education program under Section (b), it is determined
that the student's educational or behavioral needs cannot be met in
the program, the administrator or designee of the juvenile justice
alternative education program shall immediately provide written
notice of that determination to the school district from which the
student was expelled.  An admission, review, and dismissal
committee shall be convened to determine the appropriateness of the
student's placement in the juvenile justice alternative education
program.  The administrator or designee of the juvenile justice
alternative education program shall be provided reasonable notice
of the admission, review, and dismissal committee meeting in
accordance with applicable federal law.  A representative of the
juvenile justice alternative education program shall attend the
admission, review, and dismissal committee meeting to assist in
determining the appropriateness of the continued placement of the
student in the juvenile justice alternative education program.
