Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2013 - 2014 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: November 26, 2013 11:26 AM
From: Senator James R. Brewster
To: All Senate members
Subject: Teacher Certification
 
In the near future, I intend to introduce legislation that requires any individual who is hired as a teacher or on professional staff of a charter school be required to hold appropriate state certification.

Teachers who currently are employed by charter schools, yet do not have state teaching certification, are not required to obtain the certification in order to continue teaching at the charter school.

Currently, charters schools must have at least seventy-five percent of professional teacher staff certified. This measure would require all new teachers to be certified.

Thank you for your consideration.



Introduced as SB1202
