|
| | | Whereas, rules adopted by the Department of Education relating | | to requirements for specific certificates and endorsements for | | teachers are scheduled to become effective August 1, 2005; and |
|
| | | Whereas, this legislation exempts from application of the new | | requirements certain theater arts and dance teachers who are | | employed in an accredited public or private school in the State | | as of October 1, 2005; and |
|
| | | Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create | | an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and | | require the following legislation as immediately necessary for | | the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, | | therefore, be it |
|
| | | Sec. 1. Rules; certification. Resolved: That the State Board of Education | | shall amend Chapter 115: Certification, Authorization and | | Approval of Educational Personnel, a rule of the Department of | | Education, to permit certification of persons who are teaching | | theater arts or dance in the State as of October 1, 2005 and who | | hold valid certification to teach in the State |
