Relating to the retention of certain public school student records related to special education.

HB 3633 requires Texas public school districts to permanently retain two specific documents for students who received special education services: (1) the initial full evaluation of the student, and (2) the most recent individualized education program (IEP) developed before the student transfers, graduates, or leaves the district. This applies to all Texas public schools and directly affects students with special education needs and their families, ensuring these critical records remain accessible long-term. The bill mandates that districts maintain these records as permanent student files, rather than following previous retention policies with time limits. It takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
