The State Board of Education has approved the Texas Education Agency’s Bluebonnet Learning curriculum for K-5 reading and math.

The Texas Education Agency describes the new instructional materials as Open Education Resources, which means they are owned by the state, free to everyone, and can be modified over time.

School districts can choose whether or not to use Bluebonnet Learning, and districts that decide to use the materials will receive an incentive of $60 per student.

Gov. Greg Abbott celebrated the passage, stating, “The passage of Bluebonnet Learning is a critical step forward to bring students back to the basics of education and provide the best education in the nation.”
