PEIMS Service IDs for New CTE Courses Associated with Current Adoption Multilist Codes. In July 2009, the State Board of Education (SBOE) adopted newly revised Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for career and technical education (CTE). The new TEKS reduce the number of courses from 607 to 194, update technical and academic content, increase rigor and relevance, imbed college and career readiness standards, and align with the nationally recognized 16 career clusters. Districts must implement these new courses with the 2010-2011 school year.

Since new instructional material for the CTE courses will not be available to districts for several years, the Texas Education Agency is allowing districts to request CTE materials that were adopted in 2003 under Proclamation 2001 that correspond to the new courses. Please use the list at the link below to determine whether currently-adopted materials are suitable for use with the new courses.
