Texas SB544 requires individualized education program supplements for students in alternative special education settings.

Texas SB544 amends the Education Code to mandate that for students in alternative special education settings, their individualized education program must include measurable goals for academic and social-emotional and behavioral growth. These goals aim to facilitate the student's return to a general education setting. The admission, review, and dismissal committee must meet at least once each semester to review the student's progress and determine if they can transition back to a general education setting. The bill applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
