The Texas Education Code (TEC) must be amended to empower the State Board of Education (SBOE) to require each ISD that adopts non-state approved instructional materials to conform to the SBOE higher approval process to protect citizens’ right to petition, correct factual errors, prevent corruption and fulfill legislative intent in the TEC. Local ISD Boards must hold public hearings prior to adoption on such materials and citizens should have access to review classroom materials upon request at any time. We encourage the Texas Legislature to develop a review and compliance process to ensure that Texas’ local school districts’ curriculum complies with the TEKS standards and if not funding should be denied.
