Bill summary

Senate committee substitute deletes the content of the 2nd edition and replaces it with the following.

Part I.

Amends GS 115C-270.20(a)(5), which sets forth requirements for a residency license (class of teacher license), to refer to the governing board of a public school unit requesting the license rather than a local board of education. Applies to individuals seeking licensure on or after the date the act becomes law. 

Part II.

Amends GS 115C-218(b)(2), Membership of the NC Charter Schools Advisory Board (Board), to make the State Superintendent a voting member and secretary of the Board and to reduce the number of members appointed by the State Board of Education to one member (was, two). Establishes that three members appointed by the General Assembly to fill terms expiring in 2021 will serve two-year terms instead of four-year terms in order to stagger appointments to the Board. Applies to appointments made on or after the date the act becomes law.

Changes the act's long title.
