Summary

Paid or unpaid, no personal work for vendors doing district business.

The bill bars school district administrators from doing paid or unpaid personal work for vendors that do or seek business with their district, for education companies selling curriculum or administration services, and for other districts, charter schools, service centers, or colleges and universities.

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to prohibiting certain personal services performed by

school district administrators; providing a civil penalty.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 11, Education Code, is

amended by adding Section 11.006 to read as follows:

Sec. 11.006. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES BY ADMINISTRATORS. (a)

In this section, "administrator" means a person who has significant

administrative duties relating to the operation of a school

district, including the operation of a campus, program, or other

subdivision of the district. The term does not include a school

district employee whose employment contract responsibilities

primarily include the in-classroom instruction of students.

(b) An administrator may not perform personal services or

receive any financial benefit for the performance of personal

services for:

(1) any business entity that conducts or solicits

business with the school district that employs the administrator;

(2) an education business that provides services

regarding the curriculum or administration of any school district;

or

(3) another school district, open-enrollment charter

school, regional education service center, or public or private

institution of higher education.

(c) An administrator who violates this section is liable to

the state for a civil penalty in the amount of $10,000 for each

violation.

SECTION 2. Section 11.201(e), Education Code, is repealed.

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 September 1, 2025.
