What it does

This bill establishes a teacher license reciprocity task force. The bill requires the board of educational examiners (BOEE) to convene the teacher license reciprocity task force. The bill requires the task force to review the requirements that apply to out-of-state teachers who would like to be licensed to teach in Iowa, conduct a study of practitioner preparation programs in neighboring states to determine how those practitioner preparation programs compare to such programs offered in the state, and conduct a study of how to improve the process of allowing out-of-state teachers to teach in Iowa.
