Senate Bill 135 amends the Education Code to prohibit a school district's employment policy from restricting a district employee's ability to communicate directly with a member of the board of trustees about a matter relating to the district's operation, with the following exception: the policy may prohibit ex parte communication relating to a hearing on a proposed nonrenewal of a teacher's term contract, a proposed termination of a teacher's continuing or probationary contract, or a proposed suspension of a teacher without pay or relating to another appeal or hearing in which ex parte communication would be inappropriate pending a final decision by a school district board of trustees.
