Relating to certain provisions required to be included in teacher employment contracts.

HB 3558 requires school districts in Texas to include three specific provisions in all new teacher employment contracts entered on or after September 1, 2025. The bill mandates contracts specify the exact number of required workdays (including student instruction/supervision), the contract's start and end dates, and guarantee payment at the teacher's daily rate for any extra days worked beyond the specified number. This directly affects teachers and school districts by clarifying work expectations and ensuring compensation for additional service. Existing contracts signed before the effective date are exempt and remain governed by prior law. The bill focuses on standardizing contract terms rather than altering broader education policies.
