	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the training requirements for a member of the board of

	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 11.159, Education Code, is amended by
	amending Subsection (b) and adding Subsection (c) to read as
	follows:
	(b) A trustee must complete any training required by the
	State Board of Education. The trustee must complete the hours of

	year must reflect whether each trustee has met or is delinquent in

	meeting.
	(c) If, on the 30th day before the first date a person may
	file an application to be a candidate for a place on the board, a
	trustee serving a term for the position for which an election is to
	be held is not current on completing the training required by
	Subsection (b), the board shall publish notice of the trustee's
	failure to complete the required training in a newspaper of general
	circulation in the district.
