HB 2371 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the eligibility of a trustee of certain school districts for employment by those districts.

HB 2371 amends Texas Education Code to require that school district trustees generally cannot accept employment with their own district until one year after their board term ends. This rule applies to most school districts but excludes trustees in districts eligible for specific state funding under Section 48.101(b). The bill creates a one-year waiting period to prevent potential conflicts of interest when trustees transition to staff roles. It takes effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
