2025-30 IBC List for Public School Accountability Now Available
The final 2025-30 list of industry-based certifications (IBCs) to be used for public school accountability is now available on the Industry-Based Certifications page of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) website.
The new list of IBCs takes effect in the 2025-26 school year and will apply to accountability ratings issued in August 2027. In 2027, the 2022–2025 list will be subject to the sunsetting cap as the 2025–2030 list is implemented. As outlined in the Accountability Rating System Manual for 2026 Ratings, a campus can count no more than five graduates or 20% of its graduates (whichever is greater) toward CCMR credit, if those graduates meet CCMR criteria solely by earning a sunsetting IBC.
There are 523 IBCs on the final 2025-30 list, up from 309 on the 2022-25 list. Each IBC has been assigned a tier intended to signify its potential value to students and to serve as guidance for school system staff when selecting IBCs to align with the programs of study offered in their local school systems. The assigned tiers of the 2025-30 IBC list will not be used in accountability ratings until 2028 (pending the 2028 rulemaking process).
September 1, 2025, was the earliest date students in grades 9-12 may have taken an IBC that was added to the 2025-30 IBC list. PEIMS data standards for reporting of IBCs that have been added to the list will be made available in early 2026, to be reported during the 2026 PEIMS Summer and Extended Year submissions.
For more information, please reference the To the Administrator Addressed Correspondence on Industry-Based Certification List for Public School Accountability.
If you have questions regarding the 2025-30 IBC List for Public School Accountability, contact ibc@tea.texas.gov. You may also subscribe to the Career and Technical Education (CTE) newsletter for more CTE and CCMR-related updates.
