This bill creates a new one-year temporary teaching permit for career and technical education (CTE) instructors in South Dakota schools that cannot find certified teachers to fill open positions. To qualify, applicants need a high school diploma plus either an associate degree in a related CTE field, two thousand hours of recent work experience in their field, or a relevant certification, and they must work under the mentorship of a certified teacher. The permit allows these instructors to teach while the school tries to hire a fully certified educator, though the state Board of Education will set rules about which CTE subjects qualify and how renewal works.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
