The Texas Education Agency Should be Abolished in a Sunset Process and Recreated with the New Commissioner and State Leadership Background While the entire system of public education funding has undergone intense scrutiny during the 1980s, the administrative unit of the Central Education Agency, the Texas Education Agency, has remained virtually unchanged. The State Board of Education (SBOE), the state Commissioner of Education, and the Texas Education Agency make up the Central Education Agency. The State Board of Education, composed of 15 elected members from 15 different regions of the state, provides state-level administration for Texas public education. The Texas Education Agency is managed by the Commissioner of Education. Its approximately 1,175 employees provide overall policy guidance to local districts and also monitor state and federal funds. In addition, the agency provides curriculum assistance, accredits school districts, operates research and information programs, monitors for compliance with federal and state guidelines, and serves as the fiscal agency for state and federal funds. The national trend is toward more site-based management of public schools. State leadership is reviewing the mechanism of delivering site-based management and rewarding innovative programs through reduced rules and regulations. A recent management audit by Price Waterhouse (1990) concluded that the agency's organizational structure was a significant impediment to improved performance.

Texas School Performance Review Austin Independent School District April 2000 Chapter 8 PURCHASING AND WAREHOUSE SERVICES This chapter reviews the Austin Independent School District's (AISD) purchasing and warehousing functions and focuses on the following topics: A. Purchasing B. Textbooks C. Warehouse Services Purchasing functions within a school district should ensure that supplies, equipment, and services are purchased from the right source, in the right quantity, at the lowest prices and in accordance with Texas purchasing laws and guidelines. These criteria should be met for each purchase without sacrificing quality and timeliness. Warehousing operations include the receipt, storage, and distribution of a wide variety of goods, including school supplies, textbooks, and vehicle parts. BACKGROUND The Texas Education Code includes state purchasing regulations designed to provide the best value to school districts through a competitive bidding process. During the 1999 legislative session, the regulations for competitive procurement were revised to explain the competitive bidding process more fully to vendors and show that the process is conducted openly and fairly, providing maximum value to the district. Generally, when districts purchase items valued at $25,000 or more (or multiple like items with a cumulative value of more than $25,000 in one year), one of the following processes must be followed: competitive bidding: requires that bids be evaluated and awarded based solely upon bid specifications, terms and conditions, bid process and bid price;

Goal 1: Students with disabilities are not illegally removed for disciplinary reasons to more restrictive settings (including detention centers, juvenile justice alternative education placements, interim alternative education placements, and in-school-suspensions which amount to a change of placement), and students who were illegally removed are returned to a setting that provides the needed behavioral supports. Goal 2: Students who have been legally removed, for disciplinary reasons, to a more restrictive setting receive a free appropriate public education in that setting. Goal 3: Parents in communities that are disproportionately represented in Alternative Educational Placements are educated about the rights of children with disabilities through an outreach plan.
