Bay City ISD board adopts HB 2 educator certification plan to address uncertified teachers
Summary
Trustees approved the BCISD HB 2 Educator Certification Plan, a multi‑year strategy presented by CHRO Jordan Krauskopf to bring foundation-course teachers into full certification; the motion passed 6–0 (1 absent).
Bay City Independent School District trustees voted Nov. 17 to approve the district's HB 2 Educator Certification Plan, a multi‑year strategy for addressing uncertified teachers and seeking TEA authorization for a delay of teacher certification where appropriate. The motion, made by Priscilla Robinson and seconded by Trent Tinnin, passed 6–0 with one trustee absent.
Chief Human Resources Officer Jordan Krauskopf outlined steps the district will take to ensure foundation-course teachers attain full certification over time. The board approved the plan and authorized submission of required application materials as described in meeting materials. The board did not attach additional immediate funding to the plan in the recorded motion.
Trustees said the plan aims to balance classroom continuity with compliance to Texas Education Agency requirements; staff will report back on certification timelines and progress metrics.
