	SECTION 2A.__.  Sections 21.405(a) and (c), Education Code,

	(a)  Except as provided by Subsection (c), each classroom 

teacher, full-time school nurse, or full-time librarian is entitled 

to at least a 30-minute lunch period free from all duties and

a school district may require a classroom teacher, nurse, or 

librarian entitled to a duty-free lunch to supervise students 

during lunch.  A classroom teacher, nurse, or librarian may not be 

required to supervise students under this subsection more than one 

day in any school week.  The commissioner by rule shall prescribe 

guidelines for determining what constitutes a personnel shortage, 

extreme economic conditions, or an unavoidable or unforeseen 

circumstance for purposes of this subsection.
