Millions in taxpayer dollars to fund curriculum updates<\/h2>

What we know:<\/p>

<\/div>

More than $8 million of taxpayer money will be spent to fix thousands of errors related to the Texas education agency\u2019s controversial bluebonnet curriculum, according to a contract provided to FOX 4 by the state board of education\u2019s Vice Chair Pam Little.\u00a0<\/p>

“I just think that this is a cost that we really didn\u2019t need to have,” said Little. “My background is educational publishing and never have I ever seen a program come with this many errors.”<\/p>

The Texas state legislature approved the curriculum in 2023. It drew criticism because parts of the curriculum incorporate lessons drawn from bible stories.<\/p>

Thousands of typos and copyright issues uncovered<\/h2>

The backstory:<\/p>

It\u2019s not required to learn in all Texas school districts, but it\u2019s incentivized as districts get $60 per student.\u00a0Roughly a quarter of Texas school districts use at least portions of the curriculum that was published last year.\u00a0<\/p>

“In doing a little bit further research, it seems like 1,900 of them were actual errors, and 1,062 of those were licensing image issues, meaning that they used images that they did not have the approval to use,” said Little.<\/p>

Back in February, the state board of education approved fixing 4,200 errors found in the materials. The TEA says about half of the errors were in response to teacher feedback or grammatical errors.\u00a0<\/p>
