Substitutions and Content Updates

To maintain the integrity of adopted instructional materials, publishers wishing to make changes to approved materials must submit a written request to TEA. Additionally, publishers that wish to substitute an updated edition of an approved product must have permission to do so.

Current Requests to Update Content in Adopted Instructional Materials

The State Board of Education (SBOE) mandates that all proposed substitutions and updates to approved materials be made available for public review and comment before approval. If you wish to comment on any of the proposed updates listed below, please submit a Public Comment Submission Form. Copies of written comments will be provided to the SBOE and posted on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) website.

Review and Adoption Breakout Documents

If needed, you can view the breakouts of each student expectation used to determine coverage of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and English Language Proficiency Standards on the Review and Adoption Breakout Documents web page.

Substitutions

Publishers must submit a written request in order to substitute an updated edition of approved materials. The request must include an explanation of the reason for the update and be accompanied by an electronic sample and an updated Correlation to TEKS and ELPS. Submit an Instructional Materials & Implementation help desk ticket if you would like to submit a substitution request

Proposed substitutions are posted to the website for public review for a minimum of 60 days prior to approval.

Updates

Publishers must submit a written request in order to update content in adopted materials. All updates that involve content used to determine TEKS coverage must be approved by the SBOE prior to their introduction into the material. All updates that do not involve content used to determine TEKS coverage must be approved by TEA. Without prior TEA approval, publishers may, at any time, make changes that do not affect the content or change the technical requirements, such as technical enhancements or improvements. Submit an Instructional Materials & Implementation help desk ticket if you would like to submit an update request.

Proposed updates are posted to the website for public review for a minimum of seven days prior to approval.
