CHAPTER 74. CURRICULUM REQUIRE-
MENTS
SUBCHAPTER C. OTHER PROVISIONS
19 TAC 74.26
The State Board of Education (SBOE) proposes an amendment
to 74.26, concerning award of credit. The proposed amend-
ment would update the rule to clarify that a district may award
credit proportionately for successful completion of half of a
course regardless of the time duration of the course.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND JUSTIFICATION: For stu-
dents to earn state credit toward specific graduation require-
ments, a course must be approved by the SBOE and included
in SBOE rule. Section 74.26 addresses the award of credit by a
school district for high school courses. The rule outlines the gen-
eral provisions for the award of credit toward state graduation
requirements, including the award of credit for transfer students
and students who complete high school courses in earlier grade
levels and academic requirements for the award of credit. The
rule also permits districts to award credit proportionately to stu-
dents who are able to successfully complete only one semester
of a two-semester course.
At the January-February 2018 SBOE meeting, the board ap-
proved for second reading and final adoption revisions to the
award of credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) courses for
19 TAC Chapters 110, 111, 112, and 114. At the April 2018 SBOE
meeting, the board approved for second reading and final adop-
tion revisions to the award of credit for Advanced Placement (AP)
and IB courses for 19 TAC Chapters 113, 118, and 126.
A discussion item regarding 19 TAC 74.26 was included on the
agenda for the Committee on Instruction during the September
2019 SBOE meeting. At that time, the committee instructed staff
to prepare a proposal to update the rule to clarify that districts
may award credit proportionately for successful completion of
half of a course regardless of the time duration of the course for
consideration by the committee and the board.
The proposed amendment would specify in subsections (d) and
(e) that a district may award credit proportionately for successful
completion of half of a course.
The SBOE approved the proposed amendment for first reading
and filing authorization at its November 15, 2019 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: Monica Martinez, associate commissioner for
standards and support services, has determined that for the first
five-year period the proposal is in effect there are no additional
costs to state or local government required to comply with the
proposal.PROPOSED RULES December 20, 2019 44 TexReg 7805
