 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 21.353, Education Code, is amended to
 1-5     read as follows:
 1-6           Sec. 21.353.  APPRAISAL ON BASIS OF CLASSROOM TEACHING
 1-7     PERFORMANCE AND PERFORMANCE IN CONNECTION WITH EXTRACURRICULAR
 1-8     ACTIVITIES.  A teacher who, in accordance with the teacher's
 1-9     contract with the district, is assigned to direct [directs]
1-10     extracurricular activities in addition to performing classroom
1-11     teaching duties may [shall] be appraised [only] on the basis of
1-12     [classroom teaching performance and not on] performance in
1-13     connection with the extracurricular activities in addition to
1-14     classroom teaching performance.  A school district that intends to
1-15     appraise the teacher in part on the basis of performance in
1-16     connection with the extracurricular activities must provide notice
1-17     of that intention to the teacher in the teacher's contract.  The
1-18     district may also provide in the contract that failure to
1-19     satisfactorily perform an assigned duty, including a duty in
1-20     connection with extracurricular activities, may result in
1-21     nonrenewal of the teacher's contract or other adverse employment
1-22     action.
1-23           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-24     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
 2-1     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
 2-2     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
 2-3     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
 2-4     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
 2-5     passage, and it is so enacted.
