| CA | Vetoed 09/2010 | P-12 | From bill summary: Requires the state board to inform the chairs of the assembly and senate education committees and the secretary for education of content that it interprets to be the result of certain changes made to the Texas Administrative Code. Repeals this provision on January 1, 2016. Also requires the state board, upon the next adoption of the history-social science curriculum framework, to ensure that the framework is consistent with specified standards governing instructional materials.
From comments in last bill analysis: Seeks to ensure that the revisions of Texas' Essential Knowledge and Skills for Social Studies do not influence the content of California textbooks by requiring the state board of education to ensure that the next revision of the history-social science framework is consistent with existing requirements pertaining to social content and annually report to the legislature if it finds content that it interprets to be a result of Texas' revised social studies standards.

| TX | Adopted 02/2010 | P-12 | § 66.33: Adds provision to specify that members of state textbook adoption review panels must include educators, parents, business and industry representatives, and employers. Repeals reference to appointment of "academic experts" (teachers and university professors) to textbook adoption review panels. Adds provision barring hardware or software providers (or those holding a professional relationship with hardware or software providers) from making or accepting nominations to state textbook review panels.
§ 66.102: As authorized in Section 31.103(e) of the Education Code, establishes a list of equipment or devices that a district or charter school may purchase using textbook credits, including from the purchase of open-source textbooks (textbook credit = difference between the price paid for a textbook and the cost limit established in Section 31.025(a) of the Education Code for that textbook, multiplied by the number of copies purchased by the district or charter school). Authorizes a district or charter school to receive a textbook credit only in the first year of implementation. Requires the district or charter school to notify the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for the use of funds generated by textbook credits, and submit an itemized expenditure report to the TEA.
§ 66.104: Amends provisions related to selection of instructional materials by school districts. Requires a district or charter school that selects electronic textbooks or instructional materials from the commissioner's list as specified in the TEC, §31.0231, to purchase a classroom set of textbooks adopted by the SBOE under the TEC, §31.023 or §31.035, for each subject and grade level in the foundation and enrichment curriculum. Defines "classroom set" for these purposes. Adds language to clearly establish that the classroom set requirement begins with Proclamation 2010 and is not retroactive.
§ 66.121: Specifies that a requisition for special instructional materials must be based on actual student enrollment to meet individual student need. Requires districts and charter schools to annually conduct an inventory of all currently adopted instructional materials that have been requisitioned by, and delivered to, the district, and for the results of the inventory to be recorded in the district's files. Requires reimbursement for and/or replacement of all braille and large type instructional materials determined to be lost.
