Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to educational personnel; requiring the Commission on Professional Standards in Education to adopt regulations authorizing a member or veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States who has received certain types of certification as an instructor in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program to receive an endorsement to teach pupils enrolled in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program; requiring school districts to consider certification as an instructor in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program to satisfy qualifications for certain positions of employment applied for by a member or veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

AI Summary

This bill addresses the licensure and hiring of military personnel in educational roles, specifically focusing on Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) instructors. The bill requires the Commission on Professional Standards in Education to adopt regulations that allow active members and veterans of the Armed Forces who have received certification as JROTC instructors to obtain an endorsement to teach JROTC programs. Additionally, the bill mandates that school districts consider military certifications, particularly JROTC instructor certifications listed on Joint Services Transcripts, as valid credentials when evaluating employment applications for skilled positions. This means that military personnel with JROTC instructor certifications (including temporary, provisional, or advanced certifications) will have an easier pathway to teaching JROTC programs and will receive credit for their military training and experience when applying for educational positions. The bill aims to recognize and leverage the skills and expertise of military personnel in the education sector, providing them with more opportunities to transition into teaching roles after their military service.
