Texas Education Agency
Rule Review Plan--Revised
In accordance with the Texas Government Code, §2001.039, the Texas Education Agency submits the following revised plan for review of their rules. This revised rule review plan, filed on May 17, 2004, reflects changes to the revised plans filed on September 22, 2003, and July 23, 2001.

Senate Bill 467, 77th Texas Legislature, 2001, exempted the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) from the rule review requirement. This plan has been revised to remove the TEKS from the rule review process. Although the rules will not be reviewed as part of the rule review process, the State Board of Education does intend to conduct a comprehensive review of the TEKS. This comprehensive review of the curriculum content will be designed to align the adoption of textbook proclamations with the amendments to the TEKS.
