Did you know according to Texas
Education Code Sec. 28.025 (b-2):
In adopting rules under Subsection
(b-1), the State Board of Education shall provide for a student to comply with
the curriculum requirements for an advanced English course under
Subsection (b-1)(1) taken after successful
completion of English I, English II, and
English III, for an advanced mathematics course under Subsection
(b-1)(2) taken after the successful
completion of Algebra I and geometry, and for any advanced science course under Subsection
(b-1)(3) by successfully completing a course in the appropriate content area
that has been approved as an advanced course by board rule or that is offered
as an advanced course for credit without board approval as provided by Section 28.002(g-1).
·
Should a student take
English IV either before English III or concurrently with English III, the
English IV course will count as an elective credit rather than an English
credit.
·
Should a student take
Algebra II either before geometry or concurrently with geometry the Algebra II
course will count as an elective credit rather than a math credit.
·
Algebra II will still
count towards the Distinguished Level of Achievement even if taken before or
concurrently with geometry.
·
This change went into
effect with HB 5.
·
There are currently
bills which could revoke TEC 28.025 (b-2) and we are monitoring bills carefully
in order to be aware of changes.
