AI Summary
This bill repeals provisions in Pennsylvania's Public School Code relating to certificates issued by other states and provides new requirements for out-of-state applicants seeking Pennsylvania certification. Under the bill, out-of-state applicants must either hold a valid and current instructional certificate from another state and meet certain criteria, or hold a valid certificate issued by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. The bill also requires out-of-state applicants to satisfy Pennsylvania's requirements for certification under sections 1202 and 1209 of the Public School Code. The bill provides an expedited certification process for out-of-state applicants seeking certification in subject areas identified as shortage areas by the state Department of Education.
