What’s in it
AI summary People with an associate degree or some college credits could get a special permit to work as substitute teachers for grades PK-12. This permit allows them to cover for a regular teacher for a short period of time, but they cannot teach driver's education.1

This bill directs the board of educational examiners to issue a substitute authorization that allows an individual to substitute in grades PK-12 for no more than consecutive days in one job assignment for a regularly assigned teacher who is absent, except in the driver’s education classroom, and which shall require not less than the successful completion of an associate degree or not less than undergraduate semester hours, or the equivalent, from an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the United States department of education.
