A nonprofit state association or organization that primarily
represents school boards of trustees or other public educational
institutions and adopts as part of its mission statement or
organizing principles a concept described by Section
28.0022(a)(4)(A) may not provide directly or by subsidiary or
contract with a third party to a public primary or secondary school
