AI Summary
This bill, the Secondary Instructors Act, allows local school boards to contract with secondary instructors who have subject-matter expertise but are not current teachers or other school employees. The bill defines key terms like "secondary instructor" and "contract for services," and outlines the requirements for secondary instructor licensure, including education, experience, and training. The bill also specifies that secondary instructors are ineligible for certain benefits and cannot exceed 50% of the classes at any school. Importantly, while secondary instructors must clear a background check, the broader School Personnel Act does not apply to them.
