(a) Purpose. This rule establishes
requirements for scheduling station assignments for youth development coaches
employed by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD).
(b) Applicability. This rule applies to
high-restriction facilities operated by TJJD.
(c) General Provisions.
(1) Rotation of Youth Development Coaches.
(A) The executive director or designee
ensures that assignments are rotated such that coaches do not supervise the
same youth for an extended period of time.

ensure continuity in the delivery of specialized treatment programs.
(2) Three-Year Age Differential
for Youth Development Coaches. Youth development coaches are assigned to
dormitory stations in a manner that provides for at least a three-year age

practical to meet the three-year age differential for an individual youth
development coach station assignment, justification for the assignment must be
documented and approved in accordance with agency policy and
procedures.
(3) Staffing Schedules

(A) Staffing
schedules provide for at least one youth development coach to be stationed to
supervise in or near any classroom or other location in which youth receive
education services or training at the time the youth are receiving the
education services or training.
(B)
Staffing schedules for each facility provide for a ratio of at least one youth
development coach performing direct supervisory duties for every 12 youth
committed to the facility.
(C) A
youth development coach who does not meet the requirements for sole supervision
as defined in §
380.9951 of this title may be
included in the ratio described in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph if he/she
has completed the following minimum training requirements:
(i) appropriate restraint techniques;
and
