EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the career ladder.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation allows the State Department of Education to place occupational therapists and physical therapists (OTs and PTs) on the career ladder, in accordance with their years of service as an OT or PT, while holding a license from the Bureau of Occupational License. The Professional Standards Commission has recommended adding pupil service staff endorsements for OTs and PTs. However, without this legislation, all newly-certificated OTs and PTs would be placed on the first rung of the career ladder, regardless of years of service in Idaho's schools.
