INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES

TEA is making districts and teachers aware of an improper URL which was formerly associated with a currently non-operable TEA initiative. Many school districts may have vestigial links to this improper URL on their district websites. The URL associated wtih Achieve Texas (warning – inappropriate graphic images) is redirecting users to a pornography website. This is not an educationalwebsite.

TEA recommends that your information technology staff immediately scan for this URL on your website and remove all links. Staff should also review all digital and print materials to remove the link as well.
