Additionally, LEAs are required to certify that they protect against access to obscene or harmful content in compliance with the requirements for certification under the Children's Internet Protection Act. The TEKS Certification 2024-25 Survey includes a section for LEAs to certify they meet this requirement. |

Current non-certified teaching staff would move to this pay scale next year. Employees entering the district will be placed on the certified scale for one year, then would be moved to the non-certified scale. Exemptions to this are CTE courses where a batchelor's degree is not required. |
