Part 2. TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY

Chapter 66. STATE ADOPTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

Subchapter B. STATE ADOPTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

19 TAC §66.28

The State Board of Education (SBOE) adopts an amendment to §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 May 2, 2003, issue of the Texas Register (28 TexReg 3680). The section specifies the essential knowledge and skills used to evaluate instructional materials submitted under proclamations of the SBOE advertising for bids on instructional materials. Texas Education Code (TEC), Chapter 28, requires that the SBOE, by rule, identify the Texas essential knowledge and skills (TEKS) that will be used in evaluating textbooks. The amendment to §66.28 adopts by reference the specifications for the TEKS used to evaluate instructional materials submitted under the call of Proclamation 2002.

Proclamation 2002, approved by the SBOE at the May 2002 meeting, calls for instructional materials in a variety of subjects in fine arts, Grades 1 - 12; languages other than English, Grades 1 - 12; American Sign Language; physical education, Grades 1 - 12; and health education, Grades 1 - 12. The amendment to 19 TAC §66.28 defines, by rule, the TEKS to be used to evaluate textbooks in these subjects as the TEKS contained in Proclamation 2002. The amendment adds language that adopts by reference the content requirements in Proclamation 2002 and deletes language related to Proclamation 2000.

The rule text of §66.28 is adopted without changes; however, the document adopted by reference, Proclamation 2002, is adopted with editorial changes that correct the essential knowledge and skills reflected for fine arts. Following is a list of the corrections.
