The board approved submitting a district plan to the Texas Education Agency requesting delay of full implementation of teacher certification requirements for foundation-course teachers until the 2029–2030 school year; the plan outlines strategies and partnerships to support uncertified teachers.
Snyder ISD trustees voted to approve a district plan and application to the Texas Education Agency under Texas Education Code §21.0032(a-1) seeking to delay full implementation of teacher certification requirements for teachers of record in foundation curriculum until the 2029–2030 school year. The board said the plan describes strategies, timelines, and partnerships with approved Educator Preparation Programs to support uncertified teachers while maintaining instructional continuity. The motion to approve the plan and application was made by Michael Rodriquez and seconded by Doug Neff; the board recorded no opposing votes.
Board materials explained that approval is required before the district may submit the plan to TEA. The plan’s intention is to allow the district to work with educators and approved programs to obtain full certification for teachers over the timeline presented; board action authorizes submission of the plan to the state agency for review.
