34 Tex. Admin. Code § 25.133 - School Year
(a) For the purpose
of granting creditable time toward retirement and determining a member's annual
compensation, for school years prior to the 2012-2013 school year a "school
year" shall be one of the following:
(1) a
period extending from the beginning of the school term (but not earlier than
August 23) through August 31 of the following calendar year for service
rendered prior to the 1970-1971 school year;
(2) a period extending from the beginning of
the school term (but not earlier than August 2) through August 31 of the
following calendar year for service rendered for the 1970-1971 school year and
thereafter; or
(3) a period not to
include more than 12 months, extending from the beginning date of a "qualified
contract" or an oral or written work agreement year through August 31 of the
following calendar year or to the beginning date of a subsequent qualified
contract or oral or written work agreement year, whichever is earlier. Use of
this "qualified contract year" is optional for school years 1970-1971 through
1974-1975 but shall be mandatory for all persons under a qualified contract
after the 1974-1975 school year. Use of a written or oral work agreement that
is not a qualified contract is optional for school years 1970-1971 through
1994-1995, but shall be mandatory for all persons employed under a written or
oral work agreement after the 1994-1995 school year. A "qualified contract" or
"work agreement" is any employment agreement in which service each year under
the agreement is to begin on or after July 1 and is to extend past August 31 of
the same calendar year. A "qualified contract" further imposes upon the
employing school district a legal obligation to employ and compensate the
employee for the entire duration of the agreed employment period.
(b) Except as provided in §
25.26(g) of this
title (relating to Annual Compensation Creditable for Benefit Calculation)
regarding determining a member's annual compensation in the year of retirement,
for the purpose of granting creditable time toward retirement and determining a
member's annual compensation, beginning with the 2012-2013 school year and
thereafter a "school year" shall be a 12 month period beginning September 1 and
ending August 31 of the next calendar year.
