STATE ADOPTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
Subchapter B. STATE ADOPTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
19 TAC §66.28
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) adopts an amendment to 19
TAC §66.28, concerning the identification of the essential knowledge
and skills that will be used in evaluating textbooks without changes to the
proposed text as published in the March 24, 2000, issue of the
Texas Register
(25 TexReg 2521) and will not be republished. The section
specifies the essential knowledge and skills used to evaluate instructional
materials submitted under proclamations of the State Board of Education (SBOE)
advertising for bids on instructional materials. Texas Education Code, Chapter
28, requires that the SBOE, by rule, identify the Texas essential knowledge
and skills (TEKS) that will be used in evaluating textbooks. The adopted amendment
to §66.28 adopts by reference the specifications for the TEKS used to
evaluate instructional materials submitted under the call of Proclamation
1999.
In July 1997, the SBOE adopted TEKS for the foundation curriculum. The
adopted TEKS do not, however, specify which of the TEKS are to be used in
the individual subject areas for which instructional materials will be adopted.
Proclamation 1999, approved by the SBOE in May 1999, calls for instructional
materials for Science (English or Spanish), Grade 6, and Science, Grades 7-8,
and the following high school courses: Integrated Physics and Chemistry, Environmental
Systems, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry,
AP Physics B, AP Physics C, AP Environmental Science, International Baccalaureate
(IB) Chemistry, IB Physics, and IB Environmental Systems. The adopted amendment
to §66.28 defines, by rule, the TEKS to be used to evaluate textbooks
in these subjects as the TEKS contained in Proclamation 1999.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.
The amendment is adopted under the Texas Education Code, §28.002,
which authorizes the State Board of Education to identify the essential knowledge
and skills.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.

the Secretary of State on May 22, 2000.
