Board asked to approve application to delay teacher certification requirements; staff cites drop in uncertified counts
Summary
District staff recommended authorizing submission of an application to the TEA to delay implementation of new foundation-course certification rules, citing a drop in uncertified teachers from 39 to 21 and requesting board approval to submit the delay request.
District administrators asked the board to authorize submission of an application to the Texas Education Agency to delay the implementation of new teacher certification requirements for foundation courses through the 2029–30 school year. Staff said the request is a contingency if the district cannot reach zero uncertified teachers by the stated deadline.
Staff reported that uncertified (DLI) counts fell from 39 last May to 21 currently and said eight teachers were expected to finish certification by the end of May; they asked trustees to authorize submission of the application. The board read the required resolution language referencing the Texas Education Code and proceeded with a motion to approve the submission (motion moved and seconded in the record).
