Summary
The committee approved minutes from the prior meeting and passed the consent calendars (nonrule and rule items), including delegations to the commissioner and several rule repeals and adoptions listed on the rule consent calendar.
The Committee on Innovation, Data, and Educational Analytics approved the minutes of the July 23 meeting and passed both the nonrule and rule consent calendars.
Items approved on the nonrule consent calendar included replacements of members on multiple formula-funding advisory committees, delegation of authority to the commissioner to submit specified data reports (Texas Education Code §61.0062(d)), and adoption of a facility audit recommendation and other routine reports.
The rule consent calendar—described by staff as technical or noncontroversial—included, among other items, adoption or repeal of multiple board rules such as new chapter 4Z section 4.393 concerning uniform standards for publication of cost-of-attendance and financial-aid information; repeal of chapter 13L section 13.213 concerning an engineering summer program; repeal and adoption of several sections concerning general provisions and student services; adoption of new chapter 24A sections 24.1–24.4 (general provisions) and chapter 24B sections 24.1–24.18 (student loan servicing); and adoption of new subchapters on student loan debt disclosure and federal loan servicing. Committee members called for no removals from the consent calendar and the chair called the questions; the motion passed.
