In accordance with proposed Title 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §67.1003 (m) and §67.1004 (m), the commissioner may grant a waiver under TEC, §7.056, to exempt a district or open-enrollment charter school from an initial purchase of each component of an approved product outlined in subsection(k)(2) of this section if the district or open-enrollment charter school can demonstrate they already possess an identical or near-identical component for each student and/or teacher as indicated by the product design.

Examples of potential eligible components might include manipulative kits, trade books, and/ or instructional materials already in the field that did not change through the IMRA process.

This proposed rule is not yet in effect and the exemption approval process will occur in the future. However, a local educational agency (LEA) may request an exemption now and proceed with a purchase in accordance with the above proposed rule.
