Care standards and crisis training. Only on inspections TEA already does.
When the Texas Education Agency inspects a residential or day placement facility that a school district contracts with to serve students with disabilities, the agency must check two things. It must consider whether the education given to students placed there for therapy matches medical standards of care and best practices for their disability, and whether facility staff have taken and follow crisis prevention and intervention training. The bill does not require any new inspections; it only adds these checks to inspections the agency already chooses to do, starting with the 2027-2028 school year.
