Sec. 33.9031. BEFORE-SCHOOL AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS. (a)
The board of trustees of a school district may establish

elementary or middle school grades. A program established under
this section may operate before, after, or before and after school
hours.
(b) A student is eligible to participate in a school

contracting with a child-care facility that provides a
before-school or after-school program, as defined by Section
42.002, Human Resources Code, to provide the district's
before-school or after-school program would serve the district's
best interests. Following the request for proposals procurement
process, the district may enter into a contract with a child-care
facility or implement a before-school or after-school program
operated by the district. If the district enters into a contract
with a child-care facility, the contract must comply with the
requirements of Section 44.031 and may not exceed a term of three
years.
(d) The board of trustees of a school district may adopt
rules in accordance with Section 11.165 to provide access to school
campuses before or after school hours for the purpose of providing a
before-school or after-school program.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
