Relating to allowing a member of the State Board of Education to employ a person to assist in performing the member's duties.

SB 202 allows each member of the Texas State Board of Education to hire one staff person to assist with their official duties. The bill amends the Education Code to explicitly permit this staffing arrangement, effective September 1, 2025. It directly affects individual board members by providing them with a new administrative resource, without changing education policy or impacting students, schools, or other stakeholders. This is a procedural change to board operations, not a substantive policy shift.
