19 Tex. Admin. Code § 233.1 - General Authority
(a) In this
chapter, the State Board for Educator Certification establishes separate
certificate categories within the certificate class for the classroom teacher
established under §
230.33 of this title (relating to
Classes of Certificates).
(b) For
purposes of authorizing a person to be employed by a school district under the
Texas Education Code, §
21.003(a),
a certificate category identifies:
(1) the
content area or the special student population the holder may teach;
(2) the grade levels the holder may teach;
and
(3) the earliest date the
certificate may be issued.
(c) Unless provided otherwise in this title,
the content area and grade level of a certificate category as well as the
standards underlying the certification examination for each category are
aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills curriculum adopted by the
State Board of Education.
(d) A
category includes both a standard certificate and the related emergency or
temporary credential. A category may comprise a standard base certificate or a
supplemental certificate. A supplemental certificate may be issued only to a
person who already holds the appropriate standard base certificate.
(e) A person must satisfy all applicable
requirements and conditions under this title and other law to be issued a
certificate in a category. A person seeking an initial standard certification
must pass the appropriate examination(s) as prescribed in §
230.21 of this title (relating to
Educator Assessment).
(f) If the
governor declares a state of disaster consistent with the Texas Government
Code, §
418.014, Texas
Education Agency staff may extend deadlines in this chapter for up to 90 days
as necessary to accommodate persons in the affected disaster areas.
(g) The general assignment descriptions in
this chapter, where applicable, are subject to the specific provisions for the
assignment of a holder of a certificate in Chapter 231 of this title (relating
to Requirements for Public School Personnel Assignments), and in the event of
any conflict with this chapter, Chapter 231 of this title shall
prevail.
