Tex. Educ. Code Section 49.053
Governance Plan

(a)

The agreement among the consolidating districts may include a governance plan designed to preserve community-based and site-based decision making within the consolidated district, including the delegation of specific powers of the governing board of the district other than the power to levy taxes, including a provision authorized by Section 13.158 (Local Consolidation Agreement)(b).

(b)

The governance plan may provide for a transitional board of trustees during the first year after consolidation, but beginning with the next year the board of trustees must be elected from within the boundaries of the consolidated district. If the consolidating districts elect trustees from single-member districts, the consolidated district must adopt a plan to elect its board of trustees from single-member districts.
