The bill amends Section 11.063 of the Education Code regarding the eligibility of trustees of independent school districts for employment with those districts. It establishes that a trustee may not accept employment with the school district until one year after their term on the board ends. However, the bill introduces an exception: this one-year waiting period does not apply to trustees of school districts that are entitled to an allotment under Section 48.101(b).
The bill aims to clarify and modify the employment restrictions for school district trustees, allowing for greater flexibility in certain districts while maintaining a general waiting period for others. The act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
