Relating to policies and procedures for addressing dating violence in public schools.

SB 2241 requires Texas public school districts to include specific prohibitions against dating violence in their student codes of conduct. The bill amends the Education Code to mandate that school policies explicitly address dating violence, along with bullying and harassment, and require school staff to enforce these prohibitions. It also adds new factors school officials must consider during disciplinary decisions involving such incidents, including self-defense, disability, homelessness, or status in foster care. This policy change directly affects all public school students and staff in Texas by updating school safety protocols and disciplinary procedures.
