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.
