New Jersey § 18a:26-14

§ 18a:26-14.

1. The designated State official of a party State may make one or more contracts on

behalf of his State with one or more other party States providing for the acceptance

of educational personnel. Any such contract for the period of its duration shall be applicable to and binding

on the States whose designated State officials enter into it, and the subdivisions

of those States, with the same force and effect as if incorporated in this agreement. A designated State official may enter into a contract pursuant to this article only

with States in which he finds that there are programs of education, certification

standards or other acceptable qualifications that assure preparation or qualification

of educational personnel on a basis sufficiently comparable, even though not identical

to that prevailing in his own State. 2. Any such contract shall provide for: (a) Its duration. (b) The criteria to be applied by an originating State in qualifying educational personnel

for acceptance by a receiving State. (c) Such waiver, substitutions, and conditional acceptances as shall aid the practical

effectuation of the contract without sacrifice of basic educational standards. (d) Any other necessary matters. 3. No contract made pursuant to this agreement shall be for a term longer than 5 years

but any such contract may be renewed for like or lesser periods. 4. Any contract acceptance by a receiving State of educational personnel on the basis

of the completion by educational personnel of a program of educational preparation

shall specify the earliest date or dates on which originating State approval of the

program or programs involved can have occurred. No contract made pursuant to this agreement shall require acceptance by a receiving

State of any persons qualified because of successful completion of a program prior

to January 1, 1954. 5. The certification or other acceptance of a person who has been accepted pursuant

to the terms of a contract entered into pursuant to this agreement shall not be revoked

or otherwise impaired because the contract has expired or been terminated; provided,

however, that any receiving State may revoke or suspend any certificate or other qualifying

document on any ground which would be sufficient for revocation or suspension of a

certificate or other qualifying document initially granted or approved in the receiving

State. 6. A contract committee composed of the designated State officials of the contracting

States or their representatives shall keep the contract under continuous review, study

means of improving its administration, and report no less frequently than once a year

to the appropriate education agencies of the contracting States.
