Bill > H570

This bill modifies existing education law to provide a testing advantage for veterans seeking to become educators. Specifically, the bill adds a provision that any veteran, as defined by Massachusetts state law, who takes a certification test to become a provisional educator or a provisional educator with advanced standing will receive 5 additional points added to their total test scaled score. This adjustment is designed to provide a benefit to veterans who are pursuing a career in education, potentially making it easier for them to meet certification requirements by giving them a small scoring boost on their professional certification examination. The bill aims to support veterans transitioning into the teaching profession by providing a modest advantage in the certification testing process.
