Bill Summary

This bill eliminates the State residency requirement for a person employed, or hired, by a school district, charter school, or renaissance school project to teach mathematics or science. The State residency requirement was expanded in 2011 to apply to, with limited exceptions, all public officers and employees in the State, including employees of a school district, or an authority, board, body, agency, commission, or instrumentality of the district. This bill retains the residency requirement for all other public officers and employees, but eliminates it for persons employed, or hired, by a school district, charter school, or renaissance school to teach mathematics or science. It is the intent of this bill to address the shortages of mathematics and science teachers in the State.
