❌ SB144
Regards educator license grade bands
Summary
The bill amends sections 3319.079 and 3319.22 of the Revised Code to modify the specifications for educator licenses regarding grade bands. It allows holders of valid educator licenses to renew their licenses with either the previous or current grade band specifications, and it establishes standards for the issuance and renewal of various educator licenses. The bill also includes provisions for local professional development committees to oversee coursework for license renewal.
Rationale
The bill introduces additional regulations and requirements for educator licenses, which may conflict with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention in personal and professional affairs. Both LP and LPO platforms advocate for reduced government control and interference in education, suggesting that this bill's regulatory nature does not align with their core principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over education
- Potential for bureaucratic inefficiencies
- Restrictions on educator flexibility
