TEA has sent their proposed required literary works list to the SBOE for approval. This response to HB1605 goes beyond the required "at least one" literary work.
Secondary levels require 5 full-length titles; elementary requires dozens. The title & even ISBN are required. 1/2

Review the law, the rule, and lists for yourself.
Contact your SBOE member to voice concerns. 2/2
