| (a) In this chapter, the State Board for Educator Certification
establishes separate certificate categories within the certificate
class for the classroom teacher established under §230.33 of
this title (relating to Classes of Certificates).
(b) For purposes of authorizing a person to be employed
by a school district under the Texas Education Code, §21.003(a),
a certificate category identifies:
(1) the content area or the special student population
the holder may teach;
(2) the grade levels the holder may teach; and
(3) the earliest date the certificate may be issued.
(c) Unless provided otherwise in this title, the content
area and grade level of a certificate category as well as the standards
underlying the certification examination for each category are aligned
with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills curriculum adopted by
the State Board of Education.
(d) A category includes both a standard certificate
and the related emergency or temporary credential. A category may
comprise a standard base certificate or a supplemental certificate.
A supplemental certificate may be issued only to a person who already
holds the appropriate standard base certificate.
(e) A person must satisfy all applicable requirements
and conditions under this title and other law to be issued a certificate
in a category. A person seeking an initial standard certification
must pass the appropriate examination(s) as prescribed in §230.21
of this title (relating to Educator Assessment).
(f) If the governor declares a state of disaster consistent
with the Texas Government Code, §418.014, Texas Education Agency
staff may extend deadlines in this chapter for up to 90 days as necessary
to accommodate persons in the affected disaster areas.
(g) The general assignment descriptions in this chapter,
where applicable, are subject to the specific provisions for the assignment
of a holder of a certificate in Chapter 231 of this title (relating
to Requirements for Public School Personnel Assignments), and in the
event of any conflict with this chapter, Chapter 231 of this title
shall prevail.
