A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the terms of members of a board of trustees of a

military reservation school district.

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

SECTION 1. Section 11.352(b), Education Code, is amended to

read as follows:

(b) For each military reservation school district, the

State Board of Education may appoint a board of three or five

trustees. Enlisted military personnel and military officers may be

appointed to the school board. A majority of the trustees appointed

for the district must be civilians and all may be civilians. The

trustees shall be selected from a list of persons who are qualified

to serve as members of a school district board of trustees under

Section 11.061 and who live on or are employed on the military

reservation. A person who retires from active duty or civilian

service while serving a term as a member of the board of trustees

may continue to serve for the remainder of that person's term. The

list shall be furnished to the board by the commanding officer of

the military reservation. The trustees appointed serve terms of

three [ two ] years.

SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act does not

affect the entitlement of a member serving on the board of trustees

of a military reservation school district immediately before the

effective date of this Act to continue to serve for the remainder of

the member's two year term. As the terms of members expire, the

State Board of Education shall appoint or reappoint members to

serve three year terms in accordance with Section 11.352(b),

Education Code, as amended by this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
