Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled"The revised school code,"(MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding section 1531k.
AI Summary
This bill removes the requirement for school librarians in Michigan public schools to obtain any additional endorsements or certificates beyond a standard teaching certificate. Specifically, the bill amends the state's revised school code to prohibit the state education department, school district boards, and public school academy boards from mandating extra licensing or qualifications for individuals wanting to serve as school librarians. This means that a person with a standard teaching certificate would be legally permitted to work as a school librarian without needing to complete additional specialized training or obtain extra certifications. The bill appears to be aimed at reducing administrative barriers and potentially addressing staffing challenges in school libraries by making it easier for teachers to take on librarian roles.
