Bill Analysis
SB 892 would make several changes regarding individuals and incoming classes admitted to the Educator Preparation Program. This bill would decease the individual requirement from a 2.75 out of a 4.0 GPA scale to a 2.50, but would require that an EPP incoming class' have at least a 3.0 GPA average. An individual would only be allowed to take the certification exam a maximum of 4 times and would extend supervised field-based experience requirements from 15 hours to 30 hours.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill makes eligibility changes to an existing program. These changes neither affirm nor abridge our liberty principles, therefore we are neutral on this legislation.
