Following up on the passage of the “Texas Teacher Bill of Rights” — which garnered unanimous approval in the Texas Senate this week — Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Creighton) has filed Senate Bill (SB) 27, a bill focusing on classroom discipline and procedural protections.
The proposal provides a comprehensive package of reforms aimed at improving the working conditions for public school educators while also refining administrative processes within Texas school districts.
Under the bill, school districts, before the start of each school year, would be required to issue a “duty calendar” which would serve as the basis for calculating the daily rate of pay. The daily rate would be determined by dividing the annual salary by the number of days the employee is expected to work, as set by the calendar.
