Local Government Impact

The bill would prohibit school counselors from being required to serve in a disciplinary role at the school. To the extent that school counselors currently serve in a disciplinary role at a campus, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) assumes school districts and charter schools may incur costs to make changes in staffing assignments to comply with this legislation.
