Requires State Board of Education to permit candidates awaiting teacher certification to submit affidavit to hiring school district affirming certificate requirements have been met.

This bill would allow teaching candidates awaiting certification to secure employment with New Jersey school districts by submitting a signed affidavit. The affidavit would affirm they've met all certification requirements, accompanied by proof they applied for a certificate. School districts would be required to accept this affidavit during hiring, but candidates must confirm their certificate is issued within 90 days or face termination. The bill protects candidates from reimbursing districts for salary if they acted in good faith and later discovered missing requirements.
