Relating to requiring a school district or open-enrollment charter school to report data regarding certain disciplinary or law enforcement actions taken against students.
HB 3549 requires Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to report detailed data about specific student disciplinary actions annually. Schools must electronically submit by the 60th day after school ends a report tracking restraints (including OC spray or conducted energy weapons), complaints under Section 37.145, and law enforcement-related incidents like citations or arrests. The report must include student demographics (age, race, special education status, etc.) and incident details like offense type and whether it occurred during school hours. This law aims to increase transparency around disciplinary practices, particularly regarding the use of physical restraints and law enforcement involvement in schools.
