| IN RE: | HB314 by Eissler (relating to the classroom placement of multiple birth siblings in public schools. ), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
School districts would be required to honor parents' requests for classroom placements of multiple birth siblings. If after the first grading period the principal and teacher determined the placement to be disruptive, the principal would be authorized to determine appropriate classroom placement. Parental appeal of a change in placement would be allowed in the manner provided by local district policy. Local administrative workload and associated costs for review and consideration of disruptive placements would vary from district to district but would not be anticipated to be significant on a statewide basis. The bill would not affect the placement of students with disabilities which would continue to be determined through the admission, review, and dismissal committee process. The bill would not affect the right of a school district or teacher to remove a student from a classroom under Chapter 37, Education Code.
