BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
SECTION 1. Section 11.203(d), Education Code, is amended to |
|
read as follows: |
|
(d) A principal who was employed as a principal at a campus |
|
that was [of a campus] rated academically unacceptable during the |
|
preceding school year [, as well as any person employed to replace
|
|
that principal,] shall participate in the program and complete the |
|
program requirements not later than a date determined by the |
|
commissioner. |
|
SECTION 2. Section 11.203(d), Education Code, as amended by |
|
this Act, applies only to a principal employed at a school that is |
|
rated academically unacceptable during the 2008-2009 school year. |
|
SECTION 3. It is the intent of the legislature that the |
|
passage of H.B. No. 3, Acts of the 81st Legislature, Regular |
|
Session, 2009, with any amendments to Section 11.203(d), Education |
|
Code, and the amendments made by this Act shall be harmonized, if |
|
possible, as provided by Section 311.025(b), Government Code, so |

|

|
is the intent of the legislature that H.B. No. 3, Acts of the 81st |
|

|
relative dates of enactment of this Act and H.B. No. 3, Acts of the |
|
81st Legislature, Regular Session, 2009, but only to the extent |
|
that any differences are irreconcilable. |
|
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2009. |
