Texas Law about teacher placement?

Yes, you're right. It's in the Parent's Bill Of RIghts, Chapter 26 of the Texas Education Code. It doesn't automatically mean you can have your child moved, but you do at least get to be taken seriously and should get an explanation if the request is denied. Pam www.parkercounsel.com
Here's the section:
§ 26.003. RIGHTS CONCERNING ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. (a) A
parent is entitled to:
(1) petition the board of trustees designating the
school in the district that the parent's child will attend, as
provided by Section 25.033;
(2) reasonable access to the school principal, or to a
designated administrator with the authority to reassign a student,
to request a change in the class or teacher to which the parent's
child has been assigned, if the reassignment or change would not
affect the assignment or reassignment of another student;
(3) request, with the expectation that the request
will not be unreasonably denied:
(A) the addition of a specific academic class in
the course of study of the parent's child in keeping with the
required curriculum if sufficient interest is shown in the addition
of the class to make it economically practical to offer the class;
(B) that the parent's child be permitted to
attend a class for credit above the child's grade level, whether in
the child's school or another school, unless the board or its
designated representative expects that the child cannot perform
satisfactorily in the class; or
(C) that the parent's child be permitted to
graduate from high school earlier than the child would normally
graduate, if the child completes each course required for
graduation; and
(4) have a child who graduates early as provided by
Subdivision (3)(C) participate in graduation ceremonies at the time
the child graduates.
(b) The decision of the board of trustees concerning a
request described by Subsection (a)(2) or (3) is final and may not
be appealed.
