HB 1877 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

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

HB 1877 restricts Texas school district superintendents from receiving financial benefits for personal services performed outside their district. It prohibits superintendents from accepting payments from entities doing business with their district, education service providers related to curriculum/administration, or other school districts. For other entities (like charter schools or universities), any financial benefit requires board approval at an open meeting. The bill clarifies that reasonable expense reimbursements do not count as financial benefits. This applies to benefits received on or after the bill's effective date.
