Here’s the big new piece: TEA will set standards (with SBOE approval) for local review of supplemental materials—meaning:
- Takeaway for Teachers: If you use resources beyond district-adopted HQIM, the district can (or must) review them for TEKS alignment, compliance, and no harmful content.
- Time-Saving Goal: The process should stay under 30 minutes per review unless absolutely necessary.
- Annual Limit: Districts typically won’t have to re-review the same grade/subject more than once per school year.
- Who Reviews?: Some districts might tap an ESC or a curriculum provider; others will do it in-house.
Ultimately, you’ll have a built-in paper trail to assure parents, boards, and TEA that every resource is aligned and appropriate.
