Bill Summary
This bill requires the superintendent of a school administrative unit to report to the Commissioner of Education annually the number and type of the unit's vacant teacher and educational technician positions.
AI Summary
This bill requires superintendents of school administrative units in Maine to annually report to the Commissioner of Education the number and types of vacant teaching positions, specifically teacher and educational technician roles. The proposed legislation would amend existing education law by adding a new reporting requirement (paragraph E-1) to the current statute that already mandates reporting of tuition amounts. By requiring this detailed reporting of educator vacancies, the bill aims to provide state education officials with more comprehensive data about staffing challenges in local school districts. The term "educational technician" refers to school support staff who assist teachers in classroom and administrative tasks, and the bill seeks to track both teacher and these support staff vacancies to give a more complete picture of school staffing needs.
