Relating to certain policies and procedures related to concussions or other brain injuries sustained by public school students.
SB 2398 requires the Texas Education Agency to create a list of nonmedical academic accommodations (like modified assignments or extended deadlines) for public school students diagnosed with a concussion or brain injury. It mandates the agency to develop a standardized form for school districts to use when implementing these accommodations, and to make this form publicly available online for schools, staff, students, and parents. School districts must share the form with relevant staff and families upon receiving a diagnosis or a request. The law is voluntary - districts are not required to provide accommodations - and takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
