Bill Summary

Relating to teacher requirements for high quality prekindergarten programs.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Education Code to update the teacher requirements for high-quality prekindergarten programs in Texas. It requires prekindergarten teachers to have specific qualifications, such as an associate or bachelor's degree in early childhood education, a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, or several years of teaching experience in a nationally accredited child care program or a Texas Rising Star Program. The bill also allows prekindergarten teachers employed by entities contracting with school districts to have alternative qualifications, as long as they are supervised by a person who meets the standard teacher requirements. The bill applies beginning with the 2023-2024 school year.
