Board takes no action on proposed SBEC classroom teacher certification changes
Summary
The board voted to take no action on proposed new 19 TAC Chapter 235 classroom teacher certification standards (subchapter F and G). The Committee on School Initiatives reported the responsibility of SBEC matters and the board recorded a vote to take no action.
The State Board of Education voted to take no action on proposed new 19 TAC Chapter 235 classroom teacher certification standards, subchapter F (supplemental) and subchapter G (special education) as presented to the board.
Member Francis read the committee recommendation: "The Committee on School Initiatives recommends to the State Board of Education that they take no action on the proposed new 19 TAC chapter 2 35 classroom teacher certification standards, subchapter F, supplemental and special education certificate standards, and proposed repeal of 19 TAC chapter 2 35 classroom teacher certification standards, subchapter F, supplemental certification standards, and subchapter G, special education certification standards." The board voted; the motion carried with recorded votes.
Why it matters: changes to certification standards affect teacher credentialing and the assignment of teachers to courses; the committee indicated follow-up work (including SBEC processes) will continue.
Next steps: SBEC and agency staff will continue the rule discussions and related implementation items; members requested coordination on assignment and placement rules where relevant (for example when content or pathways change).
