Adds and defines the term partner school as a public school governed by a local board of education or a Department of Defense Elementary and Secondary School located in the state and established under 10 USC § 2164. Requires educator preparation programs to work with the elementary or secondary partner schools and enter into a memorandum of understanding with the local school administrative unit or the partner school where students are placed. Makes conforming changes to the requirements for the memorandum of understanding.
