Provide for an interpersonal relations training course as an alternative to the human relations training requirement for substitute teachers

LB 893 changes Nebraska's substitute teacher certification requirements by replacing the existing human relations training mandate with a new interpersonal relations training course. Substitute teachers seeking certification would complete an online course and test developed by the State Department of Education instead of the current human relations training. The bill requires the Department to create this course and test, covering similar content to the previous requirement, and allows the Department to charge a fee covering service costs. This directly affects substitute teachers applying for certification in Nebraska who would now have this alternative pathway.
