September 13, 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.
