Relating to the operation of a juvenile justice alternative education program.

HB 2591 amends Texas Education Code to clarify exemptions from compulsory school attendance for youth in the juvenile justice system. It specifically adds a new exemption for students expelled from schools that do not operate a juvenile justice alternative education program. The bill expands existing rules by allowing expelled students to avoid mandatory attendance requirements if their school district doesn't participate in such programs. This change directly affects school districts, juvenile justice facilities, and students facing expulsion who would otherwise need to attend traditional school.
