	Sec. 11.066.  REMOVAL FOR FAILURE TO ATTEND BOARD MEETINGS.  
(a)  It is a ground for removal of a trustee of an independent school 
district that the trustee is absent from more than half of the 
regularly scheduled board of trustees meetings during a calendar 
year that the member is eligible to attend, unless the absence is 
excused by a majority vote of the board of trustees.
	(b)  If the superintendent of the school district has 
knowledge that a ground for removal under this section exists, the 
superintendent shall notify the board of trustees.  On a 
determination that a potential ground for removal exists, the board 
shall notify the appropriate county or district attorney or the 
attorney general.
	(2)  On page 78, between lines 19 and 20, insert the

subsequent sections accordingly:
	SECTION 2C.__.  Section 11.066, Education Code, as added by 
this Act, applies only to trustee attendance at a board of trustees 
meeting held on or after the effective date of this Act.  Trustee 
attendance at a board of trustees meeting held before the effective 
date of this Act is governed by the law in effect when the meeting 
was held, and the former law is continued in effect for that 
purpose.
