Relating to the assignment of public school students enrolled in certain school districts to an uncertified teacher.

HB 362 restricts the assignment of students in grades 1-6 to teachers without proper certification or at least one year of teaching experience in large public school districts (5,000+ students). It prohibits assigning the same student to such a teacher for two consecutive school years, except when parents or school staff agree or for a student's first year in a new district. The bill directly affects public school students, teachers, and administrators in qualifying Texas school districts. It amends education code to enforce certification requirements for classroom assignments, aligning with existing standards for teacher qualifications.
