Existing law requires the Commission on Professional Standards in Education to adopt regulations relating to the qualifications to obtain: (1) a license to teach in this State; and (2) an endorsement to teach in a field of specialization. (NRS 391.019) Section 2.5 of this bill requires the Commission to adopt regulations authorizing a member or veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States who has received certification, including, without limitation, a temporary, provisional or advanced certification, as an instructor in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program to receive an endorsement to teach pupils enrolled in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. Existing law requires school districts to consider the Joint Services Transcript or a similar document of a veteran as credit towards such training, experience or licensure required for certain skilled positions of employment in that school district. (NRS 391.115) Section 3 of this bill applies these provisions to a person who is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States in addition to veterans. Section 3 also adds certification as an instructor in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program as a specific certification on a Joint Services Transcript or a similar document for which credit must be provided by a school district.
