What’s in it
AI summary People who want to become transitional coaches in Iowa will no longer have to take a specific training course about professional ethics and responsibilities. This change removes one requirement for getting a coaching authorization, but coaches must still complete their background checks and other mandatory training.1
Read the official explanation
This bill eliminates a requirement related to obtaining a transitional coaching authorization from the board of educational examiners (BOEE). Current law requires an individual to complete a shortened course of training relating to the code of professional rights and responsibilities, practices, and ethics developed by the BOEE for transitional coaches before the individual can obtain a transitional coaching authorization. The bill strikes this requirement. The bill does not affect other requirements associated with obtaining a transitional coaching authorization, including requirements related to completion of child and dependent adult abuse mandatory reporter training, completion of concussion in youth sports training, and compliance with background investigation requirements.
Why it matters. People seeking a transitional coaching authorization would no longer have to complete a specific shortened course of training on professional rights, responsibilities, and ethics developed by the board of educational examiners. Other requirements for this authorization, such as background investigations and mandatory reporter training, remain unchanged.2
Changed since by amendments S-5083, S-5081; see Amendments.
