HB 3754 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a school district conference or hearing following a public school student's removal from a classroom or expulsion.

HB 3754 requires Texas public schools to hold a mandatory conference within three school days after a student is removed from class or expelled. The conference must include the student, a parent/guardian or non-school adult, the teacher, and the school behavior coordinator, with the student receiving written/verbal notice of removal reasons and opportunity to respond. The bill mandates that school staff consider factors like self-defense, disability, disciplinary history, and intent before deciding on discipline (e.g., suspension, expulsion), and prohibits returning the student to class until after the conference. For expulsions, it adds due process requirements including written hearing notices to parents and the right to have a non-school adult present. This bill directly affects public school students, families, teachers, and school administrators in Texas.
