Relating to measures for ensuring safety and security in public schools, including certain training for school district personnel and parents of certain students.
HB 4193 requires school personnel in Texas public schools to complete new training focused on supporting students with disabilities and inclusive teaching practices. It directly affects school staff (including teachers and administrators) and parents of students with disabilities, as the training covers disability categories under federal law (IDEA and Section 504), proactive instructional methods, and evidence-based strategies like co-teaching and behavioral supports. Key provisions mandate demonstration of competence in adapting instruction for diverse learners, using classroom data for interventions, and utilizing approved open educational resources. The bill also clarifies that "supplemental special education services" include crisis intervention training (as referenced in Section 29.041). This bill is currently pending in the Public Education committee.
