Marco Petrie, director of educator standards and test development at TEA, presented the board with SBEC’s July adoptions and a proposed reorganization of 19 TAC Chapter 235 certification standards to add bilingual special‑education standards.

Petrie said the changes implement legislation requiring a bilingual special‑education certificate and that the proposed amendments would merge existing subchapters into a single new Subchapter F for supplemental and special education certificate standards so the bilingual special‑education standards would align more clearly with other certificates.

The board then considered a motion concerning the proposed 19 TAC Chapter 235 amendments. Dr. Klein moved that the board "take no action on the proposed new 19 TAC chapter 22 35, classroom teacher certification standards, the chapter f, supplemental and special education certificate standards, and proposed repeal of 19 CAC chapter 2 35..." The motion was seconded and the board members voted; the chair announced, "The ayes have it."

The transcript records that the SBEC had adopted related rule updates in July; the State Board’s vote at this meeting was to take no action on the proposal presented in the board packet. The presentation materials and SBEC adoption remain part of the public record, and the board did not advance the proposed rule changes at this meeting.
