Adoption of Proposed Amendment to 19 TAC Chapter 232, General Certification Provisions, Subchapter A, Certificate Renewal and Continuing Professional Education Requirements, §232.7, Requirements for Certificate Renewal
Summary: The adopted amendment requires that to renew an educator's certificate, the educator must be in compliance with the terms of any State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) order resulting from an educator discipline case against the educator. This requirement allows the SBEC to enforce its disciplinary orders more efficiently and consistently, particularly when the order requires an educator to take training or continuing education but does not suspend the educator's certificate. The amendments were adopted without changes since published as proposed.
SBEC Adoption Date: July 22, 2022
SBOE Review Date: August 30–September 2, 2022
Effective Date: October 6, 2022
