| TO: | Honorable Kent Grusendorf, Chair, House Committee on Public Education |
| FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | HB783 by Eissler (Relating to notice to educators of a public school student's misconduct and to placement of a student who has assaulted a teacher.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend portions of Chapter 37, Education Code relating to notice to educators of specific disciplinary information and the conditions for returning students removed from the classroom to the same classroom. The bill would require a teacher’s consent before a student who has been placed in a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) or expelled for an assault against that teacher can be returned to the teacher’s classroom.
The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment with the necessary voting majorities or September 1, 2005 and would apply beginning with the 2005-06 school year.
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
Similar notice is required under current law for teachers of students who have been expelled for serious offenses.
