Action is Exempt from Article 2 of the Administrative Process Act
Action:
Exempt action to align 8VAC20-23 with Chapters 748 and 771 of the 2023 Acts of the Assembly
Action 6292
 
General Information
Action Summary Chapter 748 clarifies when the Board must extend a three-year provisional license issued to a teacher working in a school division by specifying that the division superintendent must provide satisfactory performance evaluations for the teacher during the original three-year provisional license that such teacher was actually employed and received a filed performance evaluation. The Board must amend 8VAC20-23-50(A) of the Licensure Regulations for School Personnel in order to account for the additional statutory language. Chapter 771 allows a teacher who has had a founded complaint of child abuse or neglect and whose license the Board has revoked to apply for reinstatement if a court reverses the finding of abuse or neglect. In such situation, the Board is required to consider and act upon the application for reinstatement within 90 days of submission. The statutory provision is being added to 8VAC20-23-720(B) of the Licensure Regulations for School Personnel for clarity.
