§ 2041. Purpose, findings, and policy—Article I 1

• . To improve their respective school systems by utilizing the teacher or other professional
  educational person wherever educated, declare that it is the policy of each of them,
  on the basis of cooperation with one another, to take advantage of the preparation
  and experience of such persons wherever gained, thereby serving the best interests
  of society, of education, and of the teaching profession. It is the purpose of this
  Agreement to provide for the development and execution of such programs of cooperation
  as will facilitate the movement of teachers and other professional educational personnel
  among the States party to it and to authorize specific interstate educational personnel
  contracts to achieve that end. 2. The party States find that included in the large movement of population among all
  sections of the nation are many qualified educational personnel who move for family
  and other personal reasons but who are hindered in using their professional skill
  and experience in their new locations. Variations from State to State in requirements
  for qualifying educational personnel discourage such personnel from taking the steps
  necessary to qualify in other States. As a consequence, a significant number of professionally
  prepared and experienced educators is lost to our school systems. Facilitating the
  employment of qualified educational personnel, without reference to their States of
  origin, can increase the available educational resources. Participation in this Compact
  can increase the availability of educational manpower. (Added 1969, No. 8, § 1 (Art. I).)
