§ 391.125. Request by board of trustees to employ teachers who do not hold appropriate endorsement if shortage exists; limitations; duty of Commission and State Board if request granted
1. If the board of trustees of a school district determines that a shortage of teachers
exists within the school district in a particular subject area, the board of trustees
may, on or before September 1 of the school year in which such a determination is
made, submit a written request to the Superintendent of Public Instruction to employ
persons who are licensed teachers but who do not hold an endorsement to teach in the
subject area for which there is a shortage of teachers at a public school within the
school district. The Superintendent of Public Instruction may grant such a request if the Superintendent
determines that a shortage of teachers exists in the subject area. If the Superintendent of Public Instruction grants a request pursuant to this subsection,
a person who holds a license to teach but not an endorsement in the subject area for
which the request was granted may be employed by the school district for not more
than 3 school years to teach in that subject area at a public school within the school
district. 2. If the Superintendent of Public Instruction grants a request pursuant to subsection
1, the Superintendent shall submit a written report to the Commission and the State
Board that includes the name of the school district for which the request was granted
and the subject area for which the request was granted. Upon receipt of such a report, the Commission and the State Board shall consider
whether to adopt revisions to the requirements for an endorsement in that subject
area to address the shortage of teachers.
