Bill > HB5584

This bill mandates that county school boards must provide a minimum of one day of appropriate in-service training to help employees prepare for annual competency tests, which are used to determine if school service personnel meet the requirements for specific job classifications. The bill also clarifies that these competency tests are not for evaluating employees already holding a classification title in their current role, and it outlines the process for administering these tests, including scheduling and notification. Additionally, it specifies the frequency of recertification tests for school bus operators based on their employment status and experience, and details the criteria for issuing and revoking school bus operator certificates.
