This bill mandates the Commissioner of Education to establish and maintain an educator common application and web portal, which must be fully operational within 90 days of the bill's effective date. The web portal is designed to allow educators to submit a single application for employment at public schools across the state. The initiative aims to enhance connectivity between educators and schools with job openings, improve information sharing about employment opportunities, and uphold high standards for data privacy and security.

Additionally, the bill allows the Commissioner to contract with a private vendor to implement the web portal's functionalities. It also clarifies that school districts and public school employers retain the right to use their own application processes or web portals and can request additional materials from applicants who utilize the common application and web portal.
