Certification of Provision of Instructional Materials

(Formerly Known as the TEKS Certification Process)

Background

Per Texas Education Code 31.1011, local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to certify annually to the State Board of Education (SBOE) and the commissioner that students have access to instructional materials covering all Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for all required subjects, except physical education.  

Additionally, LEAs are required to certify that they protect against access to obscene or harmful content in compliance with the requirements for certification under the (i) Children's Internet Protection Act (Pub. L. No. 106-554); (ii) Section 28.0022; (iii) Section 43.22, Penal Code; and (iv) any other law or regulation that protects students from obscene or harmful content. The Certification 2024–25 Survey includes a section to allow LEAs to certify they meet this requirement.
