Relating to the suspension of a public school student for engaging in certain conduct against an employee or volunteer of a school district.

HB 2919 requires public school principals to suspend students who engage in specific conduct against school employees or volunteers, including assault offenses (matching Texas Penal Code Section 22.01(a)(1)) or deliberately violent threats to others' safety. The bill directly affects students who target staff, overriding standard suspension rules for such incidents. It also ensures that suspensions for students with disabilities receiving special education services comply with federal placement requirements. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
