Description
Teacher licensure. Makes several changes to the teacher licensure process, including (i) permitting teachers with a valid out-of-state license, with full credentials and without deficiencies, to receive licensure by reciprocity without passing additional licensing assessments and (ii) permitting a local school board or division superintendent to waive certain licensure requirements for any individual who holds a provisional license and is employed by the local school board. This bill incorporates SB 257, SB 409, SB 548, SB 549, SB 551, SB 558, SB 723, and SB 863 and is identical to HB 1125. Read the Bill »

I neglected to say that everything else that had been a compromise and we worked on for teacher licensure, and to deal with the teacher shortage issue, is included in both. So Mr. Speaker, I would ask the house to agree to the conference committee report.Del. Steve Landes (R-Weyers Cave): shall the conference report be adopted?
