Texas Education Agency
The mission of the Texas Education Agency is to provide leadership,
guidance and resources to help schools meet the educational needs of all
students. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) comprises the commissioner
of education and agency staff. The TEA and the State Board of Education
(SBOE) guide and monitor activities and programs related to public
education in Texas. The SBOE consists of 15 elected members
representing different regions of the state. One member is appointed chair
by the governor. Some of the information here that would be useful to legal
researchers includes The Administrative Rules of the Texas Education
Agency, Special Education in Texas, the Texas Education Code, The State
Board for Educator Certification--administrative rules, and the No Child Left
Behind Act's implementation in Texas.

National School Boards Association:
School Law
"School boards must exercise their responsibilities in an increasingly
complex legal environment. Resources spent defending lawsuits
against public schools are resources not available for the education
of children. The National School Boards Association offers an array
of resources that help school boards and school attorneys to
understand this legal environment, to keep up to date with new and
emerging legal developments, and to anticipate, prevent, and
overcome legal challenges." Here are some of the things available
on this site: Council of School Attorneys, School Law Publications,
and Legal Clips, which discusses recent developments in Public
School Law.
