Educational Residential Placements and State Supported Living Centers: Knowing Your Options

Effective September 1, 2025, due to the passage and signing of Senate Bill (SB) 568 in the 89th (2025) Texas legislative session, Texas Education Code §29.0056 was added to specify requirements for school systems to provide materials to parents regarding educational residential placement options for children who may qualify for placement in a state supported living center (SSLC).

To share the required information with a parent or legal guardian at any ARD committee meeting during which residential placement is discussed, each local education agency (LEA) will use this Educational Residential Placements and State Supported Living Centers: Knowing Your Options resource.
