AB 1224: Teacher credentialing: substitute teachers: days of service.

This bill establishes a substitute teacher credentialing system, allowing substitute teachers to serve in assignments for up to 60 cumulative days without needing to obtain a new credential. To qualify for this authorization, local educational agencies must have a collective bargaining agreement in place or adhere to specified requirements. Before assigning a substitute teacher, the agency must provide notice to the governing board or body, and if the assignment is for more than 20 cumulative days in a special education assignment or 30 cumulative days in any one assignment, the agency must provide specified information. The agency must also provide substitute teachers without credentials with access to professional development opportunities. The bill also requires reporting of substitute teacher data to the commission on teacher credentialing.
