The Board of Education may extend each Teach For America license for one additional year and may issue each licensee a renewable license upon completion of two full years of teaching experience, satisfaction of all other requirements for such a license, achievement of satisfactory scores on all professional teachers assessments required by the Board, and achievement of satisfactory end-of-year evaluations. The bill also provides for reciprocity to Teach For America teachers in other states upon satisfaction of certain conditions. This bill is identical to SB 1175.
