Floor Amendment to HB 440
Amend the bill by replacing section 1 with the following:
1 Rules; Scores Required for Education License Eligibility. Amend RSA 186:11, X(a) to read as follows:
(a) Certification of teachers, supervisors, and administrators in the public schools. The state board shall also examine the qualifications of candidates for those positions and issue certificates to those who meet the requirements of said rules. Such rules shall require all candidates seeking an initial New Hampshire license for administrator, teacher, instructional specialist or educational specialist to obtain passing scores on professional education assessments as determined by the state board of education. This requirement shall also apply to the teaching staff of a chartered public school pursuant to RSA 194-B:14, IV. Career and technical education teachers may be exempt from this requirement if they pass the basic academic skills testing or an industry recognized credential.
