TheSenatepassedSenate Bill 418 by Senator Angela Paxton this week. The bill updates statutes governing students who want to transfer from one district or campus to another The legislation permits students to transfer to any public school that has capacity available and prohibits public school districts from charging these students tuition. The bill sets out parameters for a school district that receives more applications than seats available and requires districts to publicly post the number of available seats they have. The bill also provides protections for school districts for students whoviolatecodeofconduct rules,areplacedindisciplinary alternative education programs,orarerequiredor permitted to be expelled. Allowing for flexibility in thepublicschoolsystemfor students to attend the campus or district of their choice helps ensure we are meeting the needs of our Texas public school students.
