IBC Evaluation
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) understands that new developments in industry occur regularly. Therefore, the TEA will engage in a bi-annual review of the list of certifications. The TEA solicits feedback from industry councils and employers to determine certifications that are industry valued and recognized. A finalized list will be available in Summer of alternating years (beginning in Spring 2019). Please note that due to shutdowns caused by COVID-19, the 2020 evaluation and resulting list were postponed until 2021 and 2022, respectively.

TEA Career & Technical ED Auto Coding
The transition from self-reported data to an autocoded course completion system reported in PEIMS is effective for the 2020-2021 school year. The Perkins V Indicator report is generated from this data set to measure the performance of CTE programs in Texas at the local and state levels. The following resources will provide local education agencies (LEA) and stakeholders with information on the new autocode system. More information can found on the TEA CTE webpage.

In addition, if the LEA’s service area contains a community of national-origin minority persons with limited English language skills, the CTE notice is made available in that community’s primary language.
PA3. Continuous Nondiscrimination Statement
An LEA must take continuous steps to notify participants, beneficiaries, applicants, parents, employees (including those with impaired vision or hearing), other interested parties, and unions or professional organizations holding collective bargaining or professional agreements with the LEA that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age.
