Bill Summary
Relative to testing requirements for veterans who wish to become educators
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 38G of chapter 71 of the General Laws to require the department to offer fee waivers for any test needed for provisional educator certification, or provisional educator with advanced standing, if the test is taken by a veteran. A veteran is defined in clause Forty-third of section 7 of chapter 4, which generally refers to individuals who have served in the active military, naval, or air service and have been discharged under honorable conditions. This change aims to reduce financial barriers for veterans seeking to enter the education profession by covering the costs of these required certification exams.
