Education: teachers and administrators; extension of certification for certain career and technical education teachers; provide for. Amends sec. 1233b of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1233b).

This bill allows Michigan school districts to hire non-certified teachers for specific subjects like computer science, engineering, and career and technical education, provided the hires meet strict qualifications such as holding a bachelor's degree with a major in the subject area and having relevant work experience. While districts must prioritize hiring fully certified teachers when possible, the legislation creates an exception for CTE programs, permitting non-certified instructors with industry expertise to work in those roles for up to 20 years with potential extensions. Additionally, the bill streamlines the path to certification for these temporary hires by waiving the student teaching requirement if they complete three years of successful classroom instruction.
