House Bill 2380 |
House Author: Shelton et al. |

Senate Sponsor: Shapiro |
Current law requires a person who is employed by a school district as a teacher for the first time or who has not been employed by the district for two consecutive school years to be employed under a probationary contract, rather than a continuing contract or term contract, and authorizes a person's employment under a probationary contract under certain conditions. House Bill 2380 amends the Education Code to authorize the employment under a probationary contract of a person who voluntarily accepts an assignment in a new professional capacity that requires a class of educator certificate that is different from the class of certificate held by the person in the professional capacity in which the person was previously employed. If such a person is returned by the school district to a professional capacity in which the person was previously employed by the district, the bill entitles that person to employment in the original professional capacity under the same contractual status as held by the person during the previous employment in that capacity.
