Before SB 6 (2011), the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) adopted a list of conforming textbooks (i.e., *instructional materials – IM’s). The conforming IM’s were required to cover 100% of TEKS for the subject and grade level. Nonconforming IM’s were required to cover at least 50% of the TEKS for the subject and grade level.
