One-Time Procedural Action to Correct the Effective Date of the Proposed Repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Economics with an Emphasis on the Free Enterprise System and Its Benefits
June 14, 2019
COMMITTEE OF THE FULL BOARD: ACTION
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: CONSENT
SUMMARY: At the November 16, 2018 meeting, the State Board of Education (SBOE) approved for second reading and final adoption proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Social Studies, Subchapter A, Elementary, Subchapter B, Middle School, Subchapter C, High School, and Subchapter D, Other Social Studies Courses, and proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Economics with Emphasis on the Free Enterprise System and Its Benefits, Subchapter A, High School, and Subchapter B, Other Economics Courses. The SBOE voted to establish an effective date of August 1, 2019, for the proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113, Subchapters B, C, and D. However, the motion did not specify the same effective date for the proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Subchapters A and B. This item requests that the SBOE take one-time action to amend the motion made at the November 16, 2018 meeting to specify an August 1, 2019 effective date for the proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Subchapters A and B, in order for the repeal to take effect at the same time as the proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113, Subchapters B, C, and D.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: Texas Education Code (TEC), §§7.102(c)(4), 28.002, and 28.025.
TEC, §7.102(c)(4), requires the State Board of Education (SBOE) to establish curriculum and graduation requirements.
TEC, §28.002, identifies the subjects of the required curriculum and requires the SBOE to by rule identify the essential knowledge and skills of each subject in the required curriculum that all students should be able to demonstrate and that will be used in evaluating instructional materials and addressed on the state assessment instruments.
TEC, §28.025, requires the SBOE to by rule determine the curriculum requirements for the foundation high school graduation program that are consistent with the required curriculum under the TEC, §28.002.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND JUSTIFICATION: In 2011, Senate Bill 6, 82nd Texas Legislature, First Called Session, amended the required curriculum to include economics, with emphasis on the free enterprise system and its benefits, as part of the subjects that constitute social studies rather than as a separate subject area. As a result of this change, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for economics in 19 TAC Chapter 118 would be moved to the social studies TEKS in 19 TAC Chapter 113 as part of the streamlining process.
A discussion item regarding proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113, Subchapters A-D, and proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Subchapters A and B, was presented to the Committee of the Full Board at the June 2018 meeting. At the September 2018 meeting, the board approved for first reading and filing authorization proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113 and proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118. The SBOE approved the proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113 and proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118 for second reading and final adoption at the November 2018 meeting. However, the motion made at the meeting to establish August 1, 2019, as the effective date for the implementation of the streamlined social studies TEKS in 19 TAC Chapter 113, Subchapters B, C, and D, did not include the repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118. This omission would delay the repeal of the economics TEKS in 19 TAC Chapter 118 until August 1, 2020, resulting in two sets of economics TEKS in effect between August 1, 2019, and August 1, 2020. This one-time procedural action provides the opportunity for the board to specify an August 1, 2019 effective date for the proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Subchapters A and B.
If approved by the SBOE, the TEA will file a correction of error with the Texas Register to specify an August 1, 2019 effective date for the proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Subchapters A and B, in order for the repeal to take effect at the same time as the proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113, Subchapters B, C, and D.
MOTION TO BE CONSIDERED: The State Board of Education:
Amend the motion from the November 16, 2018 minutes of the State Board of Education that established an August 1, 2019 effective date for the proposed revisions to 19 TAC Chapter 113, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Social Studies, Subchapter B, Middle School, Subchapter C, High School, and Subchapter D, Other Social Studies Courses, to include an August 1, 2019 effective date for the proposed repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 118, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Economics with Emphasis on the Free Enterprise System and Its Benefits, Subchapter A, High School, and Subchapter B, Other Economics Courses.
