SB 1007 allows teachers with certifications from other states in the compact to be eligible for the professional endorsement they need to teach in Idaho public schools. The bill clarifies that a certified educator from another state does not have to receive any additional certification in Idaho to be able to work. This increases competition in the teaching profession and allows Idaho to attract and keep better public educators.
