Bill > HB3671

This bill modifies the definition of a "career teacher" for evaluation purposes, specifically impacting how teachers are classified after the 2017-2018 school year. Previously, a teacher could achieve career status by completing three consecutive years in one district or by meeting certain evaluation and tenure requirements. This bill adds a new provision, allowing a teacher who has already met the career teacher requirements in one school district to be granted career status in another district if the new district's board of education approves it, and clarifies that this status is solely for evaluation purposes. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
