Part-time or adjunct instructor in public schools; locally awarded subject matter expert credential.

Summary

The bill lets a school division superintendent or a comprehensive community college issue a locally awarded subject‑matter‑expert (SME) credential that permits an individual to teach one career‑technical education (CTE) course per semester as a part‑time or adjunct instructor. Holders must pass background, fingerprint and criminal‑history checks, receive a mentor from the employing school board, and can have the credential renewed once with a satisfactory evaluation. The measure aims to bring industry expertise into classrooms while keeping existing licensing standards intact.
