review if proposed action plan is
met.
Copyright TEA, 2010 All rights reserved.
Can a district or charter school use
permanent substitute
teachers to teach LEP students?
Yes, but only if these teachers have valid
Texas teaching certificates and are

Copyright TEA, 2010 All rights reserved.
Does a district/charter school need to resubmit their application if they lose the
certified teacher during the school year?
If this situation occurs after November 1

situation as quickly as possible and keep
all documentation.
