From the Texas Education Agency (TEA) social studies newsletter on March 10th:
The State Board of Education (SBOE) voted to amend their instructional materials adoption cycle to remove Proclamation 2025 , which would have included a call for new social studies materials. The SBOE did not indicate when they intend to call for new social studies materials. To address the minor revisions to the social studies TEKS that were adopted in November 2022, the SBOE advised TEA staff to offer publishers of SBOE-adopted social studies materials the opportunity to update their materials. TEA will post any update requests we receive from publishers to the TEA web page Substitutions and Content Updates for public review and comment prior to taking the request to the SBOE for approval.
The contracts with the social studies publishers will expire at the end of the 2022–23 school year. The publishers of SBOE-adopted social studies materials have been offered the opportunity to renew their contracts for the gap years. Districts will receive their biennial instructional materials and technology allotment in September 2023. While there is not money specifically set aside for gap-years materials, districts are able to spend that funding on materials needed to meet the district’s needs and to cover 100% of the TEKS.
