ON APRIL 12, 2023, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED SENATE BILL 967, AS AMENDED.
AMENDMENT #1 rewrites this bill to do the following:
(1) Revise a present law provision that requires a local board of education to keep on file and available in each school library added or amended operating policies and a notice of each deleted operating policy. This amendment rewrites that provision to provide, instead, that an LEA must maintain:
(A) Added or amended policies on file and make the policies available in each school library operated by the LEA; and
(B) Notice of deleted policies on file and make such notice available in each school library operated by the LEA or at the LEA's central office;
(2) Provide that, if a person holds an active industry license or credential relevant to a career and technical education course as determined by the department of education, then the person may provide instruction to students in the career and technical education course as long as the instruction provided by the person is supervised at all times in the classroom by a licensed teacher who serves as the teacher of record for the course; and
(3) Clarifies that a person providing instruction to students in a career and technical education course pursuant to (2) is subject to investigation pursuant to law relative to investigating applicants for teaching positions.
