The proposed amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 249 would revise the definition of "serious state assessment violation" and would replace a cross reference to a State Board of Education rule that has been repealed. This item also proposes amendments to 19 TAC §249.13, Cancellation of an Erroneously Issued Certificate; §249.14, Complaint, Required Reporting, and Investigation; Investigative Notice; Filing of Petition; §249.26, Petition; and §249.30, Notice of Hearing, that would update a cross reference to a rule relating to certificate issuance procedures.

The proposed rule actions would be necessary as a result of the reorganization of the assignment chart codified in current 19 TAC Chapter 231. Proposed new 19 TAC Chapter 231 would update and clarify the assignments for public school personnel to enable school districts, teacher organizations, and human resource organizations to better understand the appropriate assignments of public school personnel.
