Bluebonnet Learning instructional materials are state-developed, SBOE-approved open education resources (OER). As such, they qualify for additional funding entitlements established by House Bill (HB) 1605:

• the SBOE-Approved Instructional Materials Entitlement (, )
• the State-Developed Open Education Resource (OER) Entitlement (​)

School systems can access these funding entitlements by procuring Bluebonnet Learning instructional materials through requisitions in the EMAT system. Visit the Instructional Materials Funding to learn more.

For a school system to qualify for the State-Developed OER Entitlement for additional instructional materials procurement funding, the school district’s Board of Trustees must adopt an OER Transition Plan (, °Õ·¡°ä,&²Ô²ú²õ±è;§67.1315). A transition plan is required when:

• initially adopting SBOE-approved Bluebonnet Learning instructional materials for any grade level or subject/course district-wide; or
• expanding implementation of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) or SBOE-approved Bluebonnet Learning instructional materials to additional campuses and/or grade levels. 

Any school district or open enrollment charter school participating in Leadership & Instructional Foundations for Texas (LIFT) for Bluebonnet Learning is not required to adopt an OER Transition Plan as it will be completed with the LIFT Action Plan, TEC Sec. 31.0751 (c).

Transition plans are adopted by the local Board of Trustees before the start of the academic school year and locally maintained by local school systems. The adopted plan will not need to be submitted; however, plans could be requested for review by the commissioner. School systems will report the completion of the transition plan through EMAT.
