19 Tex. Admin. Code § 100.1125 - Training Providers

(a) Authorized training providers. Training under this section may be provided only by a Texas Education Agency (TEA)-authorized training provider approved by the commissioner of education. Training that is not provided by an authorized TEA training provider at the time of training does not satisfy training requirements specified in this division. The fee for a course or module of training shall be determined by the registered training provider.

(b) Application to become an authorized training provider. An education service center (ESC), entity, or individual may apply to be an authorized training provider. An applicant must file with the commissioner documents and information demonstrating a history of training experience and subject-matter expertise in each area covered by a training required by this division. If the applicant is an ESC or entity, the ESC or entity must designate one or more individuals as their lead provider. TEA may request qualification information about the lead provider and how the lead provider will supervise any instructors. The lead provider or individual may be required to complete a charter training program prior to serving as a training provider in an area or subject matter.

(1) The training provider may apply to be authorized to provide training in one or more areas or subjects. If the training provider is an ESC or entity, the ESC or entity may assign training to one or more instructors, so long as the instructors are supervised by the ESC or entity for quality instruction that is aligned to the authorized areas or subject matters.

(2) The training provider is not authorized under this section until it receives written notice of authorization under this section.

(c) Compliance with training rules. An authorized training provider that fails to comply with §§ 100.1115-100.1125 of this title (relating to Training Requirements for Governing Board Members and Officers; Core Training for New Governing Board Members and Officers; Additional Training for New Governing Board Members and Officers; Continuing Training for Governing Board Members and Officers; Exemption for Participation in a Shared Services Cooperative; and Training Providers) will not be authorized in any subsequent year. An ESC, entity, or individual who completes a training that does not comply with §§ 100.1115-100.1121 of this title has not satisfied the requirements for continued service.

(d) Authorization timeline. Initial authorization under this section is effective for 24 months. Thereafter, re-registration may be for a period of up to three years. Re-registration is by original application under this section, except that the process for re-registration of a registered training provider may include an opportunity for stakeholder comment on that provider's performance. A successful application for authorization in a prior authorization period confers no right or expectation that the commissioner will grant an application for authorization in a subsequent year.

(e) Post-training requirements. Training providers shall provide training certificates upon request to any individual who attends training and shall keep accurate training records. The training provider is required to periodically survey individuals after a training to determine their satisfaction. TEA may request training records from any authorized training provider at any time.
