SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Teacher licensure by reciprocity. Directs the Board of Education to waive the requirement for passage of a professional teacher's assessment for such individuals holding a valid out-of-state teaching license and national certification if the individual has completed at least one year of successful, full-time experience as a teacher in an accredited public or nonpublic school outside the Commonwealth and subsequently completes one year of full-time teaching in an accredited public or nonpublic school in the Commonwealth, at the end of which the individual shall be subject to review by the employing local school board, which may then recommend to the Board of Education the waiver of the professional teacher's assessment requirement and the award of a license by reciprocity.

Currently, the Board's Professional Teacher's Assessment Requirement (October 10, 2001) provide that persons who "have completed a minimum of two years of full-time successful teaching experience in an accredited public or nonpublic school (kindergarten through grade 12) in a state other than Virginia are exempted from the assessment requirement. Experience as a substitute teacher or as a teacher's aide is not acceptable experience to meet this exemption."
