Pampa ISD board approves delay-of-certification plan to reduce uncertified teachers over multiyear schedule
Summary
The board approved the district's plan to apply to TEA for a Delay of Certification option: 26 current uncertified teachers with staged reductions (20 in 2025-26; 14 in 2026-27; 7 in 2027-28; full compliance by 2029-30). The plan responds to legislative limits on District of Innovation use for uncertified teachers.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Abigayle Barton requested board approval to apply to the Texas Education Agency for a Delay of Certification after legislative changes limited the District of Innovation option to employ uncertified teachers in core areas. Barton presented current counts and a multi-year reduction schedule. "Current uncertified teachers: 26 uncertified teachers," the minutes record; the plan projects reductions to 20 in 2025-26 (25%), 14 in 2026-27 (30%), 7 in 2027-28 (50%) and eventual full compliance by 2029-30.
Dr. David Godino moved to approve the delay-of-certification plan and submission to TEA; Denise Intemann seconded. The motion carried unanimously. The plan will be submitted to TEA for approval and HR will coordinate implementation if the agency approves the request.
