Community College | Defines open-source textbooks as textbooks downloadable from the Internet at no cost to the student. Requires districts and charter schools to annually certify that, for each subject in the required curriculum and all grade levels, the district provides every student with textbooks, electronic textbooks or instructional materials that cover all elements of the state board-adopted essential knowledge and skills for that subject and grade level. Establishes provisions allowing institutions of higher education to place open-source textbooks on the secondary-level textbook adoption list. Provides that one criterion for adoption is that, for a textbook for a senior-level course, a student who successfully completes a course based on the textbook will be prepared, without remediation, for entry into the eligible institution's freshman-level course in that subject, and that, for a textbook for a junior-level and senior-level course, a student who successfully completes the junior-level course based on the textbook will be prepared for entry into the senior-level course.
Adds new section 31.0261 allowing the state board to execute a contract for the printing of an open-source textbook listed on the state textbook adoption list. Establishes provisions for the purchase of open-source textbooks by the commissioner of education. Requires that a state-developed open-source textbook be irrevocably owned by or licensed to the state. Authorizes the commissioner of education to issue a request for proposals for a state-developed open-source textbook. Establishes prerequisites for the approval of an open-source textbook, and establishes provisions for the revision of open-source textbooks. Requires the commissioner to provide for special and bilingual state-developed open-source textbooks in the same manner as non-open-source textbooks for these populations. Provides for costs and distribution of open-source textbooks. Directs the commissioner to develop a schedule for the adoption of state-developed open-source textbooks. Requires a district or charter school that selects an open-source textbook to requisition a sufficient number of printed copies for use by students unable to access the textbook electronically, unless the district prints copies or provides electronic access to the textbook at no cost to the student. Permits printed copies of open-source textbooks that a district does not intend to use for another student to become the property of the student. Requires textbook publishers to deliver open-source textbooks at no charge to districts or the state. http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/81R/billtext/pdf/HB02488F.pdf
