Private entities that supply online courses offered by Texas Virtual School Network course providers as authorized under the Texas Education Code, Chapter 30A, do not become public schools by that relationship. Only school districts and charter schools may claim to be Texas public schools or to be accredited or approved by the Texas Education Agency or the State of Texas. The private course provider or vendor providing the course may not claim those designations in its advertising and informational materials.
