Need TEA rule

Posted by PULLOUT on 3/29/2023, 6:40 am

I am having trouble finding the policy in regards to how many times a student can be pulled out of an elective for remediation, etc.
Can someone point me in the right direction.

thanks

The problem as I’ve said repeatedly is that there is no penalty for not following the pullout law. There is no investigation, no sanctions against the school or principal. It’s a toothless mandate, so there’s no reason for a principal to follow it.

I would suggest calling the state education offices directly. I've been told different things by different administrators for high school and middle school. It can get confusing, so I'd say get it straight from "the horse's mouth."

4. May a school district remove students from a fine arts class for remedial tutoring or
test preparation?
The district must adopt and strictly enforce a policy that limits the removal of students from class
for remedial tutoring or test preparation. A district may not remove a student from a regularly
scheduled class for more than 10% of the school days on which the class is offered. A student
in any grade level K–12 may not be given credit or a final grade for a class unless the student is
in attendance for at least 90% of the days the class is offered. An exception may be made if a
parent provides written consent to the district. (TEC §25.083(b) and §25.092(a)).

Students must meet the 90% seat time law. There is no exception for pullouts.
