HB 1316 amends the Texas Education Code to require that when a student in a special education program is the subject of a threat assessment by a public school’s threat assessment and safe supportive school team, the team must include a member of the student’s Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) Committee. This individual must have specific knowledge of the student’s disability and the special education services provided to ensure appropriate considerations are made during the assessment process. The bill aims to enhance the fairness and relevance of threat assessments for students with disabilities​.
