Texas has a new law in effect. House Bill (HB) 674 ends out-of-school suspensions for Texas students in preschool through 2nd grade. Students can still be punished with in-school suspensions and they can still be suspended out of school for serious offenses like assault, drug possession, and weapon possession. This infographic contains details on positive behavior plans and how you can support your school, as well as who to call if your campus is not following the new law.
