Brief description:
Approval of experience from accredited private schools, colleges, and universities in a foreign country will be considered on an individual country basis depending on the relevant information provided by public officials of the foreign accrediting entity to the Texas Education Agency. It is the responsibility of the foreign country to provide such relevant, credible, and accurate information before any credit is given.
New subsection (m) is added relating to teacher aides to reflect teacher aide experience that may qualify the individual for up to two additional years on the minimum salary schedule.
The effective date is May 5, 2005.
ACTION REQUIRED BY EMPLOYEE
