REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29940C1 / S1069
The purpose of this legislation would be to make a few administrative changes in the current certification
requirements to allow for individuals who complete an approved registered apprenticeship program to be
eligible for certification. Proposed amendments to Section 33-1201, Idaho Code, allow for a student serving
in a practicum, internship or student teaching position under the supervision of a certificated staff person
to be paid and individuals who successfully complete an approved registered apprenticeship program to
be eligible for standard certification. These two amendments would allow the State Board of Education to
develop registered apprenticeship programs that meet the same standards as a traditional program and targets
individuals who have not yet earned a baccalaureate degree.
FISCAL NOTE
These amendments would not result in any additional fiscal impact to the state. Salary based apportionment is
limited based on a calculated staff allowance. The staff allowance is determined based on students in average
daily attendance. Additional positions do not necessarily create a liability to the state general fund. Individuals
participating in an approved apprenticeship program could will be paid, at the discretion of the school district
or charter school, based on a locally set amount for participants of the apprenticeship program. Participating
apprentice students would be able to serve as the teacher of record, but would not be reported as certificated
staff. Additionally, various grants are available through the US Department of Labor to help develop or expand
registered apprenticeship programs at the state level. School districts could apply for the grants or could use
local funding sources to pay participants in an apprenticeship program.
