Saint Jo ISD District Transition Plan for Meeting Teacher Certification Requirements
Saint Jo ISD District Transition Plan for Meeting Teacher Certification Requirements
Background
House Bill 2, enacted by the 89th Texas Legislature in 2025, added Section 21.0032 to the Texas Education Code, which explicitly prohibits districts from using DOI plans to exempt teachers of record in foundational curriculum courses (Reading/ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies).
Purpose
Texas districts can delay new House Bill 2 teacher certification requirements for foundation curriculum (English, math, science, social studies) until the 2029-2030 school year by submitting a board-approved plan to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), that includes strategies for transitioning uncertified teachers to certified status.
