AI Summary

This bill establishes a teacher licensure requirement for early education programs, including preschool, school readiness, and prekindergarten, in Minnesota. It requires school districts and charter schools to employ qualified, licensed teachers in these programs. However, it provides an exemption until 2026 for individuals who were employed as teachers in early education programs during the 2020-2021 school year, even if they did not have a Minnesota teaching license at that time. These individuals are still considered teachers under the state's labor law.
