| relating to a reduction in required days of service for educators in | ||
| public schools under certain circumstances. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 21.401, Education Code, is amended by | ||
| amending Subsection (b) and adding Subsection (c-1) to read as | ||
| follows: | ||
| (b) Except as provided by Subsection (c-1), an [ |
||
| employed under a 10-month contract must provide a minimum of 187 | ||
| days of service. | ||
| (c-1) If a school district anticipates providing less than | ||
| 180 days of instruction for students during a school year, as | ||
| indicated by the district's academic calendar, the district may | ||
| reduce the number of days of service required by this section | ||
| proportionately. A reduction by the district does not reduce an | ||
| educator's salary. | ||
| SECTION 2. Section 21.401, Education Code, as amended by | ||
| this Act, applies only to a contract executed on or after the | ||
| effective date of this Act. A contract executed before the | ||
| effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the | ||
| date the contract was executed, and the former law is continued in | ||
| effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
| a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
| provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
| Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
| Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the | ||
| legislative session. | ||
