November 18, 2024 Committee of the Full Board Item 3
Approval of Updates to and Ratification of Standards-Alignment Percentages for Instructional Materials Adopted Under Proclamation 2024
November 22, 2024
COMMITTEE OF THE FULL BOARD: ACTION
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: CONSENT
SUMMARY: This item provides an opportunity for the committee to approve the updated Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) coverage percentages on materials submitted for the TEKS update review for materials adopted under Proclamation 2024. Publishers supplied new content and/or new correlations to demonstrate alignment to TEKS not addressed during the initial review. Materials submitted for the TEKS update review were reviewed by the Proclamation 2024 state review panel (SRP) in the summer of 2024. This item presents the final report from the commissioner of education regarding the updated coverage of the TEKS along with any SRP-reported errors and feedback.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: Texas Education Code (TEC), §31.003 and §31.022.
TEC, §31.003(a), permits the State Board of Education (SBOE) to adopt rules for the adoption, requisition, distribution, care, use, and disposal of instructional materials.
TEC, §31.022(b), requires the SBOE to adopt rules to provide for a full and complete investigation of instructional materials for each subject in the foundation curriculum and for each subject in the enrichment curriculum.

PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION: Proclamation 2024 instructional materials on the board’s Currently Adopted Instructional Materials were adopted at the November 2023 meeting.
The SBOE approved the request from CEV Multimedia, Ltd. to update content in its iCEV Computer Science I (Individual Course); from Coder Kids, Inc. DBA Ellipsis Education to update content in its Texas Technology Applications – 5; from Pasco Scientific to update content in its Essential Physics 3rd Edition; and from Typing.com to update content in its Typing.com, Kindergarten–Grade 6 at the September 2024 meeting.
The board moved to postpone action of the request from The Curriculum Center for Family and Consumer Sciences to update content in its Personal Financial Literacy and Economics, Child Development Associate Foundations, and Instructional Practices to the November 2024 meeting.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND JUSTIFICATION: In November 2019, the board adopted revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 66, to provide an opportunity for publishers to submit updated content and new correlations to the content to update the product’s official TEKS or TPG coverage percentage.
Materials eligible for the TEKS update include instructional materials for science, technology applications, several career and technical education courses, and personal financial literacy and economics instructional materials that were adopted under Proclamation 2024.
MOTION TO BE CONSIDERED: The State Board of Education:
Approve the request from The Curriculum Center for Family and Consumer Sciences (CCFCS) to update content in its Personal Financial Literacy and Economics, Child Development Associate Foundations, and Instructional Practices; and
