SB 1832 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to providing for an election by the parent of a student who was victimized by a public school employee to transfer the student to another public school campus or receive funding for the student to attend private school.

SB 1832 allows parents of students victimized by public school employees to choose between transferring their child to another public school campus or receiving funding for private school attendance. It applies to students whose school employees were convicted of offenses against them, placed on deferred adjudication for such offenses, or reported for misconduct under specific Texas laws. Parents may elect either option under Section 38.551, with the program ending when the student graduates high school or loses public school eligibility. The bill establishes clear eligibility criteria and administrative procedures for school districts to implement these choices.
