House bill would enhance school discipline

by | Mar 27, 2025 | Area news, Latest

A bill introduced by Rep. Jeff Leach proposes significant changes to discipline policies in Texas public schools.

Leach, R-Plano, said the bill is designed to provide schools with more flexibility in handling disciplinary issues while ensuring student safety.

“Our teachers should be spending their time educating, not constantly managing disruptions and disciplinary issues,” Leach said. “To recruit amazing teachers to the classroom and to retain them there, we must give them the ability to maintain discipline without unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.”
