The Lumberton ISD Board of Trustees authorized district staff to submit a required application to the Texas Education Agency to delay implementation of teacher certification requirements for teachers of record in core foundation courses.
"Motion #3 Kenny Burkhalter moved that the Board approve Lumberton ISD to submit the required application to the Texas Education Agency to delay teacher certification implementation for teachers of record of core foundation courses in accordance with Texas Education Code §21.0032(a-1)."
