SUMMARY
The 82nd Texas Legislative session passed SB6 to address the instructional resource needs of school districts
and charter schools. In doing so, SB6 created the Instructional Materials Allotment (IMA) to facilitate the
purchase of instructional materials. Due to the shift from printed resources to digital resources, the 85th
Texas Legislative session changed the name of the allotment to Technology and Instructional Materials
Allotment (TIMA). As a result, school districts and charter schools have greater flexibility in deliverying
instructional resources to teachers and students.
It is important to note that TIMA is designed to provide funds to Texas schools to purchase instructional
resources that align with the Texas Essentioal Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). School districts and charter
school receive an IMA on a biannual basis to support classroom instruction. The TIMA provides money to
purchase textbooks, resources, and technology aligned to the TEKS to support the curriculum. In order to
receive funds, districts and charter school are required to certify annually to the State Board of Education
and the commissioner that, for each subject in the required curriculum, students have access to instructional
materials that cover all of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). In the attachments is a chart
Page 2 of 2
of resources which are used at Westlake Academy to support student learning and the TEKS. Prior to the
2021-22 school year, the certification was signed off by the Superintendent, however, beginning this year
the Board must approve the use of the instructional materials.
