Bill Summary
This bill provides that upon a request by an individual for an expedited review of an application for teaching staff member certification, the State Board of Examiners will either issue the certificate or deny the application and provide the reasons for the denial, within one week from the date that the board receives the request, provided certain criteria are met. Under the bill, in order to receive the expedited review, the completed application must be on file with the board for at least four weeks prior to the date when the board receives the applicant's request, and the request for the expedited review is made within the two week period prior to Labor Day in that school year.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a process for expedited review of applications for teaching staff member certification by the State Board of Examiners, which is the body responsible for issuing teaching licenses. If an applicant requests an expedited review, the Board must either grant the certification or deny it with a clear explanation of the reasons for denial within one week of receiving the request. However, this expedited process is only available if the applicant's completed application has been on file with the Board for at least four weeks before the expedited request is made, and the request itself is submitted within the two-week period immediately preceding Labor Day of that school year.
