SB 108

For purposes of determining whether to invalidate a lifetime teaching,

administrator, or pupil services license, this bill requires the Department of Public

Instruction to count time an individual is employed by DPI as time the individual is

regularly employed in education. Under current law, DPI must invalidate a lifetime

teaching, administrator, or pupil services license if the individual who holds the

license is not regularly employed in education, as defined by DPI by rule, for five or

more consecutive years. Currently, DPI defines “regularly employed in education”

as “employed as an educator providing services directly to students, families or fellow

educators in a prekindergarten through college setting or providing administrative

oversight in a prekindergarten through grade 12 setting for one hour per day per

semester or its equivalent.”
