| 13 | 13 | | For purposes of determining whether to invalidate a lifetime teaching, |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | administrator, or pupil services license, this bill requires the Department of Public |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | Instruction to count time an individual is employed by DPI as time the individual is |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | regularly employed in education. Under current law, DPI must invalidate a lifetime |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | teaching, administrator, or pupil services license if the individual who holds the |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | license is not regularly employed in education, as defined by DPI by rule, for five or |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | more consecutive years. Currently, DPI defines “regularly employed in education” |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | as “employed as an educator providing services directly to students, families or fellow |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | educators in a prekindergarten through college setting or providing administrative |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | oversight in a prekindergarten through grade 12 setting for one hour per day per |
