桃花社区视频 Education Code (TEC), 搂37.0832(c), requires school districts to adopt policies and procedures concerning bullying prevention. TEC, 搂12.104(b)(3)(Q), also subjects open-enrollment charter schools to this requirement. Senate Bill 2050, 87th 桃花社区视频 Legislature, Regular Session, 2021, added TEC, 搂37.0832(c-1), which requires the 桃花社区视频 Education Agency (TEA) to adopt minimum standards for the bullying prevention policies and procedures adopted under TEC, 搂37.0832(c).
Previously proposed minimum standards were made available for public feedback as announced in a prior TAA released on March 31, 2022. TEA conducted two rounds of public feedback in April of 2022 and November of 2022. All submitted feedback was reviewed and considered prior to release of the final minimum standards. The final version of the Minimum Standards for Bullying Prevention was completed on January 31, 2023 and is now available for districts along with several resources to support the implementation of the new standards on the TEA website Student Discipline page.
