6.Ìý Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Adoption of Proposed Amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 247, Educators’ Code of EthicsÌýÌý Ìý

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to adopt, subject to State Board of Education (SBOE) review, proposed amendments to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 247, Educators' Code of Ethics. The proposed amendment to 19 TAC §247.1 would add the definitions of "sexual harassment" and "under the influence of alcohol." The proposed amendment to 19 TAC §247.2 would make educators who act recklessly in diverting money for personal gain or misrepresenting the educator's employment history subject to discipline by the SBEC, would clarify language regarding an educator's illegal use of drugs, and would add a standard regarding educator-on-educator workplace sexual harassment. The proposed amendment to 19 TAC §247.2 would also strike Standard 1.14 (a prohibition on assisting an educator with getting a new job when the educator had an inappropriate relationship with a student or minor) with the intent to move that provision to 19 TAC §249.15. No changes are recommended since published as proposed, but additional changes may be recommended at the time of the meeting based on public comment.ÌýÌý Ìý

7.Ìý Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Adoption of Proposed Amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 249, Disciplinary Proceedings, Sanctions, and Contested Cases, Subchapter A, General Provisions, §249.3, Definitions, §249.5, Purpose; Policy Governing Disciplinary Proceedings; and Subchapter B, Enforcement Actions and Guidelines, §249.15, Disciplinary Action by State Board for Educator Certification

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to adopt, subject to State Board of Education (SBOE) review, proposed amendments to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 249, Disciplinary Proceedings, Sanctions, and Contested Cases, Subchapter A, General Provisions, and Subchapter B, Enforcement Actions and Guidelines. The proposed amendments to 19 TAC §§249.3, Definitions, 249.5, Purpose; Policy Governing Disciplinary Proceedings, and 249.15, Disciplinary Action by State Board for Educator Certification, would add language creating a legal presumption based on an educator’s violation of written directives from school administrators regarding the educator's behavior toward a student. This presumption would be included in the definition of "solicitation of a romantic relationship," and in the rules that define and address the term "unworthy to instruct or to supervise the youth of this state." The proposed amendments also would add the existing prohibition on assisting an educator with getting a new job when the educator had an inappropriate relationship with a student or minor to the list of reasons the SBEC can take disciplinary action. This provision is intended to comply with both the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), 20 United States Code (USC), §7926, and Texas Education Code (TEC), §21.009(e), and proposed to be stricken from 19 TAC Chapter 247, Educators' Code of Ethics.No changes are recommended since published as proposed, but additional changes may be recommended at the time of the meeting based on public comment.Ìý

8.Ìý Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Adoption of Proposed Amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 233, Categories of Classroom Teaching CertificatesÌýÌý

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to adopt, subject to State Board of Education (SBOE) review, proposed amendments to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 233, Categories of Classroom Teaching Certificates. The proposed amendments would implement legislation from the 85th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2017, to establish new certificates for Early Childhood: Prekindergarten-Grade 3 and Trade and Industrial Workforce Training: Grades 6-12; would specify procedures for an interested party to request an additional foreign language certificate; and would identify any additional requirements to obtain certification and/or be eligible to teach specific courses. Additional proposed amendments and technical changes would provide clarification for consistent application of these rules, would remove duplicative language specifying assignments into which certificate holders are eligible to placed, and would establish consistent information related to the classroom certificates issued by the SBEC.No changes are recommended since published as proposed, but additional changes may be recommended at the time of the meeting based on public comment.Ìý

9.Ìý Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Adoption of Proposed Amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 250, Administration, Subchapter A, Purchasing, §250.1, Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program, and Subchapter B, Rulemaking Procedures, §250.20, Petition for Adoption of Rules or Rule ChangesÌý

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to adopt, subject to State Board of Education (SBOE) review, proposed amendments to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 250, Administration, Subchapter A, Purchasing, §250.1, Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program, and Subchapter B, Rulemaking Procedures, §250.20, Petition for Adoption of Rules or Rule Changes. The proposed amendment to §250.1 would reflect a technical change that would update in rule relevant cross references to the state's Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program. The proposed amendment to §250.20 would implement legislation from the 84th Texas Legislature, 2015, to update the petition form for adoption of rules or rule changes to require the petitioner to indicate that the petitioner meets one of the four definitions of an interested person. No changes are recommended since published as proposed, but additional changes may be recommended at the time of the meeting based on public comment.ÌýÌýÌý

10.ÌýÌý ÌýConsider and Take Appropriate Action on Proposed Amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 230, Professional Educator Preparation and Certification, Subchapter C, Assessment of Educators; Subchapter D, Types and Classes of Certificates Issued; Subchapter E, Educational Aide Certificate; Subchapter G, Certificate Issuance Procedures; and Subchapter H, Texas Educator Certificates Based on Certification and College Credentials from Other States or Territories of the United States

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to discuss proposed amendments to 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 230, Professional Educator Preparation and Certification, Subchapter C, Assessment of Educators; Subchapter D, Types and Classes of Certificates Issued; Subchapter E, Educational Aide Certificate; Subchapter G, Certificate Issuance Procedures; and Subchapter H, Texas Educator Certificates Based on Certification and College Credentials from Other States or Territories of the United States. Chapter 230 serves as a foundation for the practices and procedures related to educator preparation and certification. The subchapters discussed outline testing requirements for certification; provide general eligibility, recommendation, and issuance requirements for several types of certificates; identify fees for certification services; and confirm the overall process for individuals already certified in other states or countries to obtain Texas certification. The proposed amendments would provide necessary updates to certification and/or testing requirements and would align SBEC rules where applicable with provisions from recent legislation.

11.ÌýÌý Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Proposed Review of 19 TAC Chapter 241, Principal Certificate

Texas Government Code, §2001.039, establishes a four-year rule review cycle for all state agency rules, including State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) rules.

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to discuss and propose the repeal of 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 241, Principal Certificate, and new 19 TAC Chapter 241, Certification as Principal. The proposed repeal of and new 19 TAC Chapter 241 would reorganize the chapter to allow for the chapter title to reflect both the proposed new principal certificate as well as the current principal certificate, would establish the requirements for the proposed new principal certificate, and would provide for a proposed new endorsement for individuals who hold a certificate to serve in the role of principal.
Ìý
13.ÌýÌýÌý Consider and Take Appropriate Action on Proposed Review of 19 TAC Chapter 242, Superintendent Certificate
