Texas HB2292 prohibits schools from releasing students to their parents after school-initiated communication unless the release is due to suspension.

Texas HB2292 amends the Education Code to prohibit school districts and open-enrollment charter schools from releasing students to their parents before the end of the instructional day if the release is a discipline management technique or a reaction to behavior that impedes learning, but only after the parent receives school-initiated communication. Exceptions are made for suspensions and expulsions. The act applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year and takes effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote, otherwise on September 1, 2025.
