CHAPTER 232. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
APPLICABLE TO ALL CERTIFICATES ISSUED
SUBCHAPTER M. TYPES AND CLASSES OF
CERTIFICATES ISSUED
19 TAC 232.510
On October 6, 2000, the State Board for Educator Certifica-
tion (SBEC) adopted an amendment to 19 Texas Administrative
Code 232.510(b)(5), relating to designation of the new School
Librarian Certificate as a class of certificate, without changes to
the proposed text published in the November 10, 2000, issue of
the Texas Register (25 TexReg 11222).
The adopted amendment to 232.510(b)(5) replaces the super-
seded term "learning resource specialist" with its replacement
"school librarian" as a class of certificate. The Board has con-
temporaneously adopted rules establishing the new School Li-
brarian certificate at 19 Texas Administrative Code, 239.40,
239.45, 239.50, 239.55, 239.60, 239.65, and 239.70.
No comments were received during the statutory period for pub-
lic comment following publication of the notice of the proposed
amendments in the Texas Register.
Because no comments were received during the statutory com-
ment period, the agency makes no response under this part of
the reasoned justification.
The amendment establishing the new School Librarian certifi-
cate as a class of certificates was adopted under the authority of
Texas Education Code, 21.041(b)(2), which requires the Board
to specify the classes of certificates to be issued.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's
legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on January 3, 2001.

CERTIFICATE
19 TAC 239.1, 239.5, 239.10, 239.15, 239.20, 239.25,
239.30
On October 6, 2000, the State Board for Educator Certification
(SBEC) adopted 19 Texas Administrative Code new 239.1,
239.5, 239.10, 239.15, 239.20, 239.25, and 239.30, relating to
the new School Counselor certificate, without changes to the
proposed text as published in the November 10, 2000, issue of
the Texas Register (25 TexReg 11223).The proposed new rules and conforming amendments would
establish a new School Counselor Certificate. The Board
appointed school counselors, school counselor preparation
faculty, and school administrators to the Advisory Committee
for the Counselor Certificate, which recommended changes
to the current counselor certificate. The main recommenda-
tions not accepted by the Board were the requirements for a
preliminary credential and completion of an induction period
before receiving the standard School Counselor certificate. The
proposed rule includes comprehensive counseling and teaching
standards and requirements that facilitate the achievement of
students by being a knowledgeable and skillful resource for the
school community. The standards in the rule will be used to de-
velop assessments for initial certification of school counselors.
Section 239.30 of the new rules includes transition language
that will supercede various rules regarding the certification of
the counselors once the new requirements become effective.
No comments were received during the statutory period for pub-
lic comment following publication of the notice of the proposed
amendments in the Texas Register.
Because no comments were received during the statutory com-
ment period, the agency makes no response under this part of
the reasoned justification.
The new rules relating to the establishment of the new School
Counselor certificate are adopted under the authority of the
following sections of the Texas Education Code: 21.040(4),
which requires the Board to appoint for each class of educator
certificate an advisory committee composed of members of
that class to recommend standards for that class to the Board;
21.041(b)(2)-(4), which requires the Board to specify the
classes of certificates to be issued, specify the period of validity
for each class of educator certificate, and specify requirements
for the issuance and renewal of an educator certificate;
21.048, which requires the Board to propose rules prescribing a
comprehensive examination for the School Counselor certificate
(for such examination the standards set out in the rules will be
used to develop), and 21.054(a), which requires the Board to
establish a process for identifying continuing education courses
and programs that fulfill continuing education requirements.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's
legal authority.
