Bill > HB3041

This bill restructures the Educator Advancement Council, transforming it from an intergovernmental agreement-based entity to a more formalized 19-member council with specific composition and operational guidelines. The council will now consist of four standing members (representatives from key state education agencies) and 15 rotating members representing various educational roles and stakeholders, including teachers from different grade levels, administrators, school board members, early learning professionals, and representatives from education associations and tribal organizations. The council's primary purposes remain focused on providing professional learning resources and supports for educators, establishing educator networks, overseeing mentorship programs, and coordinating funding distribution. The bill also specifies that council members will not receive compensation but may be reimbursed for expenses, requires the council to meet at least four times per year, and mandates that the Department of Education provide administrative and technical support. The amendments will become operative on January 1, 2026, with a transition plan that dissolves the existing intergovernmental agreement and establishes a new council structure, ensuring continuity of educational support services while introducing more structured governance and representation.
