State Textbook Program in General
226.33.31
The Texas Education Agency has amended Rules
226.33.31.020 and .090, concerning the State Textbook Pro-
gram.
Senate Bill 1, 65th Legislature, Special Sesnion, amended the
Texas Education Code, Section 12.01, to include provision for
the adoption by the State Board of Education of "learning
systems," as well as certain supplementary materials to be
used in conjunction with specific adopted textbooks. Pro-
posed changes in Rules 226.33.31.020 and .090 are for the
purpose of including provisions for adoption of learning
systems and supplementary instructional materials in ac-
cordance with law. The proposed change in Rule .020 ex-
pands the definition of a "textbook." Rule .090 provides that
consumable textbooks, learning systems, and supplementary
materials may be considered for adoption by the State Board
of Education only in those areas recommended by the com-
missioner of education. The previous restriction that con-
sumable textbooks may be considered only for the first and
second grades is deleted.
Public review and discussion of the p. oposals were held.
These rules are adopted with no change from the text pro-
posed.
These rules are promulgated under the authority of the Texas
Education Code, Sections 11.02, 11.24(b), 12.01, 12.13-12.16,
12.18, 12.24, and 12.34.
.020. Definition.

It also means a learning system which is a coordinated
