Teacher Licensure Modifications.

Summary

The measure eliminates the test required to enter an educator preparation program, lets future teachers take licensure exams any time before or during the third year of licensure (as long as they try once in the first year), and streamlines certification for teachers from states with similar requirements who have three years of experience. It also provides $50,000 for implementation and takes effect on July 1, 2026. The changes impact prospective teachers, current licensees, and out‑of‑state teachers seeking a North Carolina license.
