​Instructional Materials Communication

Additional Freight Information - Update 11/25/2019
Freight expenses to return instructional materials that are ordered incorrectly and freight for recycling out-of-adoption materials are allowable allotment expenses. These two scenarios are not for the purposes of getting instructional materials to students; therefore, these funds cannot come out of the state freight fund. Districts can use their allotment funds for these two scenarios by submitting a Technology Services disbursement request and using the Contracted Services category to request the funds. For questions concerning freight, please contact the Instructional Materials Division by submitting an IM Help Desk ticket or emailing instructional.materials@tea.texas.gov.  

​Proclamation 2020 Adopted Instructional Materials
Information about Proclamation 2020 can be found on the Proclamation 2020 page of the TEA website. This page contains a list of the Proclamation 2020 instructional materials adopted by the State Board of Education and a list of Proclamation 2020 official bids. The official bid list will update as publisher bids are approved by the Instructional Materials Division staff.

​Proclamation 2021 State Review Panel
TEA needs volunteers and nominees to review prekindergarten systems materials in English and Spanish to determine the extent to which the materials address the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines. Please consider joining us—or nominating someone else to join us—for this important work. Teachers, administrators, parents, business community members, and others with appropriate content knowledge are all welcome. Candidates must be available during June and July 2020, be proficient in Microsoft Excel and be able to read on a computer screen for an extended period of time. Nomination/volunteer forms are available on the TEA website. When asked for your committee selection, choose Proclamation 2021 State Review Panel.
