House Education Committee members have agreed to print a bill, sponsored by Rep. Brian Cronin (D-Boise) on behalf of the IEA, which would require that in any year that the state does not fund educational lanes, individual teaching certificates would be extended for that same time period.
Rep. Cronin worked with the IEA to develop this legislation, following several years of budget cuts that resulted in the freezing of both education and experience on the teacher salary grid.
The measure has not yet been assigned a bill number or a hearing date.
