19 TAC §153.1011
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) adopts the repeal of §153.1011,
concerning school district staff development, without changes to the proposal
as published in the December 26, 2003, issue of the
Texas Register
(28 TexReg 11465) and will not be republished. The section
establishes minimum staff development standards for school district personnel.
The adopted repeal reflects recent legislative changes relating to staff development
requirements in accordance with the Texas Education Code (TEC), §21.451,
amended by House Bill (HB) 1024, 78th Texas Legislature, 2003.
Through 19 TAC §153.1011, adopted to be effective October 1996, the
commissioner exercised rulemaking authority over minimum staff development
standards as authorized by TEC, §21.451, Staff Development Requirements.
TEC, §21.451, was amended by HB 1024, 78th Texas Legislature, 2003, giving
districts local options in the development of a comprehensive staff development
program. The commissioner is no longer required to develop staff development
standards for school districts. The adopted repeal of 19 TAC §153.1011
implements this legislative change.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the repeal.
The repeal is adopted under the Texas Education Code, §21.451,
as amended by HB 1024, 78th Texas Legislature, 2003, which authorizes local
districts to develop staff development standards. The commissioner is no longer
required to develop these standards for school districts.
The repeal implements the Texas Education Code, §21.451.
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 February 23, 2004.
