XIV. ACTION ITEM
Quick Summary / Abstract:
PROCEDURE: Formal action is required on each item which frequently includes discussion prior to the motion. Time is given for public comments.
XIV.a. Approve One Provisional Internship Permit (PIP)
Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval Angela Herrera, Assistant Superintendent - Human Resources
Rationale:
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing is no longer issuing Emergency Permits. However, the Commission replaced the Emergency Permit with the Provisional Internship Permit (PIP) which provides applicants additional time to meet the subject matter competence requirement(s) needed to enter an internship program. A District may request a PIP only after a diligent search has been conducted and a fully credentialed teacher could not be found. The PIP is issued for one (1) year and is not renewable. All requests for a PIP must be presented to the Governing Board of a public school district for approval. Every PIP request that is submitted to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing must also include verification that a notice of intent to employ the named applicant has been made public.
