Bill > HB3558

This bill amends the Texas Education Code to require teacher employment contracts to include three specific provisions: first, the contract must specify the exact number of days the educator is required to perform duties, including instruction and student supervision; second, the contract must clearly state the first and last days of the contract term; and third, the school district must compensate the educator at their daily rate of pay for any additional days of service beyond the initially specified number of days. The bill applies only to contracts entered into on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025), meaning existing contracts will continue to be governed by previous legal standards. By mandating these details, the bill aims to provide greater clarity and transparency in teacher employment contracts, ensuring educators have a clear understanding of their expected service days and compensation for extra work.
