SB108,,22An Act to renumber 118.19 (18) (c); and to create 118.19 (18) (c) 2. of the statutes; relating to: maintaining a lifetime teaching, administrator, or pupil services license. SB108,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau For purposes of determining whether to invalidate a lifetime teaching, administrator, or pupil services license, this bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to count time an individual is employed by DPI as time the individual is regularly employed in education. Under current law, DPI must invalidate a lifetime teaching, administrator, or pupil services license if the individual who holds the license is not regularly employed in education, as defined by DPI by rule, for five or more consecutive years. Currently, DPI defines “regularly employed in education” as “employed as an educator providing services directly to students, families or fellow educators in a prekindergarten through college setting or providing administrative oversight in a prekindergarten through grade 12 setting for one hour per day per semester or its equivalent.”
