Clarifies that teachers and professional support staff employed in charter schools and other public schools must meet the same certification requirements.

This bill clarifies that teachers and professional support staff in New Jersey charter schools must meet the same New Jersey certification requirements as those in traditional public schools. It amends existing law to explicitly require identical certification standards for all classroom teachers and professional support staff, regardless of whether they work in a charter or district school. The change applies to all public schools, ensuring consistent qualifications for educators across the state. This policy standardizes certification without altering existing requirements for public school staff.
