Relating to the receipt of financial benefits by the superintendent of a school district for certain services performed by the superintendent.

SB 286 prohibits Texas school district superintendents from accepting financial benefits for personal services performed for certain entities, including businesses that work with the district, education service providers, or other school districts. For other services - such as those provided to charter schools, regional education centers, or colleges - the school board must approve each benefit individually in an open meeting. The bill clarifies that reimbursing reasonable expenses does not count as a financial benefit. These rules apply only to benefits received on or after the bill's effective date, set for September 1, 2025, unless it takes effect immediately with a two-thirds legislative vote.
