Clear Creek ISD’s board of trustees is scheduled to approve a state-required plan at its Feb. 2 meeting that outlines how the district will reduce the number of uncertified teachers in classrooms.

The details: The plan was developed in compliance with House Bill 2, passed June 4, which set restrictions on hiring uncertified teachers by phasing out District of Innovation waivers for core subjects.

What’s next: The board of trustees is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. in the CCISD board room, located at 2425 E. Main St., League City.
