Q: Is this true if you are a 18 year old student the Texas education code 37.004 doesn't can't be used.
A 18 year old student receiving special education services removed/incarcerated
A:
No, Texas Education Code 37.004 can still apply to an 18-year-old student receiving special education services. Even if you are 18, if you are still enrolled in school and receiving these services, the protections and procedures outlined in this code remain relevant.
If you are removed or incarcerated, your educational rights don’t just disappear. Schools must continue to provide you with the appropriate education and services as mandated by law. This ensures that your educational needs are still met despite any disciplinary actions.
It’s important to know your rights and seek assistance if you feel they are being violated. Ensure that your Individualized Education Program (IEP) is being followed and that you receive the support you are entitled to under the law. If you face challenges, consider reaching out to an advocate who can help navigate these complex situations.
