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.

CTE WEIGHTED FUNDING

The 87th Texas Legislature passed HB 1525, which amends state law realted to weighted funding for students who take career and technical education (CTE) courses. The legislation establishes that, beginning with the 2021-22 school year, for each full-time equivalent student in average daily attendance in an approved CTE program in grades 7 through 12, a district is entitled to weighted funding as follows:

1.1 for CTE courses not in an approved program of study;
1.28 for levels one and two CTE courses in an approved program of study, as identified by the agency; or
1.47 for levels three and four CTE courses in an approved program of study, as identified by the agency.

State & Regional Programs of Study

In 2021, TEA's Career and Technical Education (CTE) team began developing a platform to map out programs of study across the state. The 2021 release is self-reported 2019-2020 data and future iterations of this platform will include CTE completers. For more information, please email: CTE@tea.texas.gov.

Great information to share with school boards, industry partners, parents and students.
