Bill > S2594

This bill requires the State Board of Education to permit teaching candidates awaiting teacher certification to submit an affidavit to the hiring school district affirming that all applicable certification requirements have been met. This allows the candidates to secure employment while awaiting the issuance of their teaching certificate. The bill also specifies that the candidate must provide accompanying documentation demonstrating they have applied for the certificate, and within 90 days, they must provide confirmation that the certificate has been issued. If the candidate does not provide confirmation or is found to have knowingly misrepresented information on the affidavit, the school district must terminate the candidate's employment, though they may continue to employ the candidate in other positions that do not require a teaching certificate.
