Relating to the removal of a public school student from the classroom for engaging in certain conduct and requiring a drug prevention and intervention program.
HB 4833 requires Texas public schools to implement evidence-based drug prevention programs in health classes, covering substances like e-cigarettes, tobacco, prescription drugs, alcohol, and marijuana. It also mandates that students engaging in specific serious conduct - such as drug possession (excluding marijuana under certain sections), violent acts, or felony-level offenses - be moved to alternative education programs instead of remaining in regular classrooms. The law affects all public school districts, requiring them to choose from a state-approved list of proven prevention programs for middle, junior high, and high school health curricula. This bill directly impacts school disciplinary procedures and student health education, focusing on prevention and structured intervention for substance-related incidents.
