Summary
The bill transfers all public‑school teacher and staff certification authority to the Education Professional Standards Board, eliminating the need for other state licensure. It requires new teachers and those seeking additional credentials to pass board‑selected assessments, with conditional and temporary certificates available for those who initially fail. The measure also adds data‑collection on ethnicity, fee structures, and new pathways for retired, out‑of‑state, and expired‑certificate teachers.
