TX HB942

Requires public school principals who have reasonable grounds to believe a student engaged in violent criminal conduct, including assault, to either refer the student to a classroom safety review committee or report the conduct to law enforcement

Mandates each public school establish a classroom safety review committee of five elected classroom teachers before each school year to review evidence and testimony regarding referred students

Creates a two-tier referral system where the review committee can send students to either a juvenile diversion administrator (who may assign community service, tutoring, or no action) or to a classroom safety referral board for more serious cases

Establishes classroom safety referral boards composed of two teachers, an assistant district attorney, a sheriff's office investigator, and a parent, which can either report students to law enforcement or refer them to juvenile diversion

Makes destroying student review materials before the student's 24th birthday a Class A misdemeanor, with educators subject to contract termination or suspension, and applies beginning with the 2025-2026 school year
