Introduced
by
To establish procedures for when a teacher requests that certain endorsements on his or her teaching certificate be nullified. Note: Some teachers do this so as to use their seniority to "bump" less senior personnel from what they perceive to be more desirable teaching positions than the one for which they may have a particular endorsement. School districts believe that dropping an endorsement is an implicit contract violation. Under the bill, a certification or endorsement could only be dropped if it had not been used for 10 years or more.
Referred to the Committee on Education
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the bill pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that only allows an endorsement to be dropped if it had not been used for 12 years.
The substitute passed by voice vote
