	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 21.002(a), Education Code, is amended to 
read as follows:
	(a)  A school district shall employ each full-time classroom 
teacher, full-time principal, full-time librarian, full-time 
nurse, or full-time counselor under:
		(1)  a probationary contract, as provided by Subchapter 
C;                  
		(2)  a continuing contract, as provided by Subchapter 
D;  or                
		(3)  a term contract, as provided by Subchapter E.                            
	SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the 
crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 
emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 
constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 
days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended, 
and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its 
passage, and is so enacted.
