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

SB 1581 amends Texas law to require school board trustees (trustees) to wait one year after their board membership ends before accepting employment with that same school district. The rule applies generally but excludes trustees from school districts that receive specific state funding under Section 48.101(b) of the Education Code. This change directly affects current and future school board members in most Texas districts, preventing them from working for their district during the first year after leaving the board. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, unless it receives a two-thirds vote for immediate passage.
