TEA Public Comments on Proposed Rulemaking

The purpose of this page is to provide links to TEA's web pages that house proposed rules of the commissioner of education, State Board of Education (SBOE), and State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC).

We encourage boards of trustees/governing boards, administrators, teachers, and parents to participate in the process of adopting rules that affect public education in Texas. Texas Education Code (TEC), §39.001, requires the commissioner of education to solicit input from stakeholders who may be affected by proposed rules adopted under TEC, Chapter 39, Public School System Accountability.

The links to provide comments are as follows:

• Commissioner of education rules:
