Bill Summary
This bill defines "part-time teacher."
AI Summary
This bill defines a "part-time teacher" in New Hampshire with specific qualifications and restrictions. Under the new definition, a part-time teacher is not required to hold a state board of education credential if they work up to 20 hours per week, obtain a criminal history record check clearance from the Department of Education before final employment, are employed by a New Hampshire university or community college system institution, and possess expertise or significant professional experience in the subject area they will teach. Part-time teachers must also adhere to the New Hampshire code of conduct and ethics for educational professionals. The bill explicitly prohibits individuals who have previously had an educator credential revoked or have been rendered ineligible to teach from working as a part-time teacher. Additionally, the state board of education is tasked with adopting rules to implement this new definition. The legislation is expected to have a minimal fiscal impact of less than $10,000 annually and will take effect immediately upon passage.
