The Committee on Instruction, the panel delegated by the State Board of Education, approved a request from Accelerate Learning, Inc., to update content in its STEMScopes Texas math products for grades K–8 and Algebra I.

The committee approved the updates during a brief meeting in which there was no public testimony. The approval implements changes submitted through the state instructional-materials adoption process and, per committee remarks, is a final action that will not go back to the State Board of Education for further review.

"No testimony. So we are here for the approval of updates to approved instructional materials," the Chair, Committee on Instruction, said when the item was introduced. The committee’s agenda noted that public comments received on or before 07/14/2025 were available for review and that the request from Accelerate Learning concerned STEMScopes Texas math grades K–8 and Algebra I products approved as part of the 2024 adoption cycle.

Member Little moved to approve the requested updates "from Accelerate Learning, Inc. to update content in its STEMScopes, math grades K through 8, and Algebra I products approved as part of the (2024) cycle." The motion was seconded by Member Gustavo Rebellus. Hearing no opposition, the Chair said, "the motion passes."

Committee staff identified the statutory authority for the committee’s action as Texas Education Code sections 31.003 and 31.022. A committee member later reminded the group that, under the State Board of Education’s delegation, this committee’s approval is final and the item will not return to the full board.

No vote tally by name was recorded in the discussion, and there was no public comment offered on the item.

The committee took no additional directions to staff during the item. With the passage of the motion, the meeting adjourned.
