Trustees approved the district's annual certification that instructional materials cover TEKS standards and comply with CIPA, enabling the district to regain access to funds used for curriculum purchases.
The Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees approved the district's certification that instructional materials for the 2026'27 school year cover 100% of the TEKS and meet Children's Internet Protection Act requirements, a step staff said is necessary to regain access to funds used to purchase curriculum.
A staff presenter explained the annual certification process to the State Board of Education and the Texas Education Agency (TEA), and made the case that completing that process allows the district to regain access to EMAP funds used for curriculum materials. The presenter reviewed recommended materials for kindergarten through sixth grade and noted secondary staff would discuss materials for grades 6'12.
"Completing the certification process will allow us to regain access to our EMAP funds, which is how we the funds that we use to pay for our curriculum materials," a staff member said.
After the presentations, a committee member moved to approve the certification of provision of instructional materials for 2026'27 "as presented." The board conducted a voice vote; the motion passed according to the transcript.
Why it matters: Certification is required to demonstrate compliance with state instructional standards and federal internet-protection rules and, according to staff, unlocks funds that pay for curriculum purchases.
The board approved the certification by voice vote and proceeded to the next agenda items.
