COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR H.B. No. 637 By: Watson
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the salaries of the superintendent of the Texas School
for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the superintendent of the
Texas School for the Deaf.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 30.023(d), Education Code, is amended to
read as follows:
(d) The board shall annually establish the superintendent's
salary. [The annual salary may not exceed 120 percent of the annual
salary of the highest paid instructional administrator at the
school.]
SECTION 2. Section 30.053(d), Education Code, is amended to
read as follows:
(d) The board shall annually establish the superintendent's
salary. [The annual salary may not exceed 120 percent of the annual
salary of the highest paid instructional administrator at the
school.]
SECTION 3. This Act applies to an initial employment
contract that is entered into between the superintendent and the
governing board of the Texas School for the Blind and Visually
Impaired or the governing board of the Texas School for the Deaf, as
appropriate, on or after the effective date of this Act. An
employment contract that is initially entered into before the
effective date of this Act is governed by the law as it existed at
the time the contract was entered into, and the former law remains
in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 4. 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, 2019.
