2017 Senate Bill 727

House Roll Call 187: Passed

To revise a detail of a law that lets an individual get an interim teaching certificate if among other things he or she is taking a training program deemed to be the equivalent of at least 12 college credit hours. The bill would retain a requirement that the program have a “proven record of producing successful teachers,” but remove a requirement that this record had to be proven “in one or more other states,” and also remove a basic math and reading skills test.
