Establishes emergency teacher endorsements in certain circumstances.

This bill (S 2233) proposes a temporary teaching license ("emergency endorsement") for educators in high-need fields like bilingual education when schools cannot find certified candidates. It allows school administrators to apply for this license if they demonstrate a shortage of qualified teachers, requiring candidates to already hold teaching credentials in another area and be enrolled in relevant coursework. The license can be renewed annually for up to two years (totaling three years max), but no more than 20% of a school’s teaching staff can hold such licenses. The Department of Education must publish and annually update a list of eligible high-need fields.
