AI Summary
This bill grants the New Hampshire State Board of Education the authority to require candidates seeking licensure as an administrator, teacher, instructional specialist, or educational specialist to achieve passing scores on professional education assessments, which are tests designed to evaluate a candidate's knowledge and skills in education. While this new requirement generally applies to all such candidates, it includes an exception for Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers, allowing local school boards to request a waiver from the Department of Education, provided they have a recommendation from a superintendent, principal, or CTE director.
