Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) The State Board of Education (SBOE) shall adopt a review and adoption cycle for instructional materials for prekindergarten and for elementary and secondary grade levels for each subject in the required curriculum.
(b) In adopting the cycle, the SBOE:
(1) is not required to review and adopt
instructional materials for all grade levels in a single year; and
(2) shall give priority to instructional
materials in the following subjects:
(A)
foundation curriculum subjects for which the essential knowledge and skills
have been substantially revised and for which assessment instruments are
required under the Texas Education Code (TEC), Chapter 39, Subchapter B,
including career and technical education courses that satisfy foundation
curriculum requirements as provided by the TEC, §28.002(n);
(B) foundation curriculum subjects for which
the essential knowledge and skills have been substantially revised, including
career and technical education courses that satisfy foundation curriculum
requirements as provided by the TEC, §28.002(n);
(C) foundation curriculum subjects not
described by subparagraph (A) or (B) of this paragraph, including career and
technical education courses that satisfy foundation curriculum requirements as
provided by the TEC, §28.002(n); and
(D) enrichment curriculum subjects.
(3) The adoption cycle for
subjects in the foundation curriculum shall be organized so that instructional
materials for not more than one-fourth of the subjects in the foundation
curriculum are reviewed each biennium. A full and complete investigation of
instructional materials for each subject in the foundation curriculum shall
occur every eight years unless content of instructional materials for a subject
is sufficiently current. Estimated expenditures and historical or expected
legislative appropriations shall be considered when determining placement of
subjects in the cycle.
(4) The
adoption cycle for subjects in the enrichment curriculum shall be organized so
that placement of a subject in the cycle is based on the need for up-to-date
materials that align to revised Texas essential knowledge and skills or the
addition of new courses. Estimated expenditures and historical or expected
legislative appropriations shall be considered when determining placement of
subjects in the cycle.
