What’s in it
AI summary State money used for teacher training cannot be spent on activities held inside an amusement park. While teachers can use state funds for training held in a meeting room or conference center on amusement park property, they cannot count time spent at the actual park toward renewing their professional licenses.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that state moneys calculated and paid to school districts for professional development activities cannot be used for such activities at an amusement park itself and directs that the board of educational examiners’ rules must provide that time spent engaged in professional development activities at an amusement park itself cannot be used to meet license renewal requirements. However, if such activities are held in a conference facility or meeting room on amusement park property, state moneys can be used for the activities and the activities can be used to meet licensure renewal requirements.
