This certification ensures HISD’s compliance with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) annual requirement, fostering the district’s commitment to providing high-quality education and instructional resources.
In alignment with TEC 31.1011 and various state and federal mandates, including the Children’s Internet Protection Act, HISD must annually certify the availability of instructional materials covering all TEKS. This certification process requires the district to confirm its adherence to standards protecting students from obscene or harmful content.
