Erin Davis Valdez is an education policy director at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. She has been passionate about the transformational power of education all her life, having been given the gift of being homeschooled. She taught for over a decade in Austin-area schools and served as an assistant principal at a charter school in Lewisville. These experiences have given her the opportunity to see first-hand how students can thrive when they have excellent options.

HB 3938 addresses an important issue relating to industry-based certifications (IBC) as they impact both the accountability measures for college, career, and military readiness and the college, career, and military readiness (CCMR) bonus program that was instituted under HB 3. This morning, I would like to directly address the role of this list as it relates to the CCMR bonus program.
