EDUCATION – Amends existing law to provide for a lifetime instructional certificate and a lifetime administrator certificate for certain teachers and administrators.

Idaho's S 1092 creates lifetime instructional and administrator certificates for teachers and school leaders who have accumulated at least 25 years of combined teaching or administrative experience in Idaho public schools, public charter schools, or equivalent systems. The bill allows these individuals to receive certificates at no cost, without requiring ongoing professional development, reporting, or renewal fees. The certificates remain valid for life unless the holder engages in professional misconduct that would trigger revocation under existing law. This change amends Idaho Code Section 33-1204 and takes effect on July 1, 2025.
