What can you teach if you are High School Computer Science Certified?

On Friday, the TEA met to (according to their website) http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=2147509834

8. Proposed Repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 231, Assignment of Public School Personnel, and Proposed New 19 TAC Chapter 231, Requirements for Public School Personnel Assignments

This item provides the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) an opportunity to discuss and propose the repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 231, Assignment of Public School Personnel, and propose new 19 TAC Chapter 231, Requirements for Public School Personnel Assignments. The proposed rule actions would be necessary as a result of the reorganization of the assignment chart codified in current 19 TAC Chapter 231. Proposed new 19 TAC Chapter 231 would update and clarify the assignments for public school personnel to enable school districts, teacher organizations, and human resource organizations to better understand the appropriate assignments of public school personnel.
