Texas Board Backs 4,200 Fixes to State-Written Bluebonnet Curriculum

The education agency plans to update online materials within 30 days after final sign-off.

Overview

  • In an 8–6 preliminary vote, the State Board of Education approved corrections after delaying a decision in January for more review.
  • The Texas Education Agency submitted the fixes, describing factual errors as minimal, with issues ranging from typos and broken links to incorrect answer keys and more than 500 image licensing problems.
  • After a final vote, the agency says it will post updated online materials within 30 days and begin replacing physical books and teacher guides.
  • Taxpayers will cover the cost of the updates, districts will not be billed for corrected materials, and the total reprinting expense has not yet been provided.
  • About one in four districts use parts of Bluebonnet’s reading curriculum—reaching roughly 400,000 students—with a $60-per-student incentive, as debate continues over Christian-leaning content and historical framing.
