Notice of the review of 7 TAC Chapter 88 was published in the October 3, 2025, issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 6547). The commission received no comments in response to that notice.

Texas Education Agency
Title 19, Part 2
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) adopts the review of 19 TAC Chapter 70, Technology-Based Instruction, Subchapter AA, Commissioner's Rules Concerning the Texas Virtual School Network (TxVSN), pursuant to Texas Government Code, §2001.039. TEA proposed the review of 19 TAC Chapter 70, Subchapter AA, in the February 28, 2025 issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 1704).
Relating to the review of 19 TAC Chapter 70, Subchapter AA, TEA finds that the reasons for adopting the rules continue to exist through the 2026-2027 school year. Senate Bill 569, 89th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2025, removed the statutory authority for the rules by repealing Texas Education Code (TEC), Chapter 30A. However, Section 15 of the bill allows an exception until the end of the 2026-2027 school year for school districts providing an electronic course or a full-time program through the state virtual school network. The agency anticipates proposing rules at a later date to implement new TEC, Chapter 30B, related to virtual and hybrid education. TEA received no comments related to the review of Subchapter AA.
This concludes the review of Chapter 70.
