House Bill 1474, the “front-loading” measure that IMCAT pushed for, has passed the Texas House and is on its way to the Senate. Instead of piecing out a school’s Instructional Materials Allotment over two years of the biennium, the bill, authored by Rep. Gary VanDeaver, would give schools access to all their IMA in the first year of the biennium. That’s important in biennia like this one, when the huge Proclamation 2015 is almost assured to soak up much of the two-year distribution in the first year. CONTINUED PAGE 5 APPROPRIATION BILL It happens every two years, and it’s rarely gentle. The State Legislature convenes in Austin. The only thing it has to get done is pass a budget for the two-year period (“biennium”) that begins on September 1. Sometimes they’re finished within the 140 days that the state constitution gives them for their Regular Session. Sometimes they’re not, and they have to return for a special session. Or two. Until lawmakers pass that budget, Texas educators don’t know how much money they’ll be getting for instructional materials. FROM IMCAT IMpulse The pulse of I nstructional Materials in Texas • 2Q 2015 Funding Options Remain Limited Until Budget Passed IMCAT Supported Bill on its Way to Senate CONTINUED PAGE 10 HB1474 Summertime and the livin’ is easy…if you’re not a Texas instructional materials professional. Summertime can be a challenge if you’re involved in instructional materials in Texas schools, but IMCAT can make the livin’ easier with its annual Summer Institute. Summer Institute’s curriculum – Instructional Materials 101 – features all the information you need to get ready for your school year. It’s great for instructional materials professionals who are new to the process or for veterans who want a summer refresher. The Summer Institute is offered at ten different locations on different dates so you’ll be able to pick the date and location that fits best with your summer schedule. The cost is only $65 for IMCAT members (those who attended the 2014 Annual Conference or who have paid their membership dues since). Registration includes morning refreshments, lunch and materials. The fee for nonmembers is $95 and includes morning refreshments, lunch, materials and a 2015 IMCAT membership. Representatives of commercial enterprises may attend at the rate of $225. All classes are from 8:30 am–2 pm. To register, visit www.imcat.org. See below for the 2015 schedule. Registrants may attend one session at any site; region listings are for suggestion only.
