House Amendment 8899

Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend House File 2378, as passed by the House, as
  1  2 follows:
  1  3    #1.  Page 1, by inserting before line 1 the
  1  4 following:
  1  5    "Section 1.  NEW SECTION.  256E.6  LEGISLATIVE
  1  6 FINDINGS AND INTENT.
  1  7    1.  The general assembly finds that classroom
  1  8 management is often difficult and complex, that
  1  9 students are from diverse racial, ethnic, and social
  1 10 backgrounds, and that behavioral disorders and special
  1 11 education needs abound.  Teachers, therefore, must be
  1 12 prepared to effectively manage classrooms, to
  1 13 communicate with and engage parents in their child's
  1 14 education, to assess students' developmental needs,
  1 15 and to organize and work in teams.  While student
  1 16 needs are great, the nation is experiencing a teacher
  1 17 shortage.
  1 18    2.  Therefore, it is the intent of the general
  1 19 assembly that the department of education encourage
  1 20 each school district to develop and implement a
  1 21 volunteer program that utilizes a valuable, tested
  1 22 human resource, Iowa's retired teachers and
  1 23 administrators, by inviting these experienced
  1 24 educators to return to the schools as volunteer
  1 25 mentors and aides.  A volunteer mentor is not a mentor
  1 26 as defined in section 256E.1, and is ineligible for
  1 27 awards made under section 256E.4."
  1 28    #2.  Page 1, by inserting before line 1 the
  1 29 following:
  1 30    "Section 1.  NEW SECTION.  262.76  ASSIGNMENT OF
  1 31 STUDENT TEACHERS – ACCREDITED NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS.
  1 32    The state board of regents shall adopt rules
  1 33 authorizing approved practitioner preparation program
  1 34 faculty to assign a student enrolled in the program to
  1 35 an accredited nonpublic school for student teaching
  1 36 experience if the coursework and the curriculum the
  1 37 student is assigned to teach are nonsectarian,
  1 38 nonreligious, and would reasonably be expected to be
  1 39 taught in any public school district in the state."
  1 40    #3.  By striking page 2, line 12 through page 3,
  1 41 line 1.
  1 42    #4.  Page 3, by striking lines 23 through 34.
  1 43    #5.  By striking page 4, line 14 through page 5,
  1 44 line 4.
  1 45    #6.  Page 5, by striking lines 5 through 23 and
  1 46 inserting the following:
  1 47    "Sec.    .  Section 283A.2, subsection 3, paragraph
  1 48 b, unnumbered paragraph 1, and paragraph c, as enacted
  1 49 by 1999 Iowa Acts, chapter 147, section 1, are amended
  1 50 to read as follows:
  2  1    The board of directors of a school district that
  2  2 wishes to provide safe, reasonable student access to a
  2  3 school breakfast program, rather than operate or
  2  4 provide for the operation of a school breakfast
  2  5 program at a specific attendance center within the
  2  6 school district shall develop an alternative site plan
  2  7 to operate the school breakfast program at another
  2  8 attendance center or other site within the school
  2  9 district and shall annually certify to the department
  2 10 that the plan meets the following criteria:
  2 11    c.  The board of directors of a school district
  2 12 that wishes to provide access to a school breakfast
  2 13 program in accordance with paragraph "b", shall notify
  2 14 the parent, guardian, or legal or actual custodian of
  2 15 a child enrolled in the district of the school
  2 16 district's intention to develop and implement a plan
  2 17 to provide school breakfast programs only in certain
  2 18 attendance centers at an alternative site.  At any
  2 19 time in which the school district proposes to make
  2 20 substantive changes to a plan certified with the
  2 21 department of education, the notification requirements
  2 22 of this paragraph shall apply."
  2 23    #7.  Title page, line 2, by striking the words ",
  2 24 and providing an effective date".
  2 25    #8.  By renumbering, relettering, or redesignating
  2 26 and correcting internal references as necessary.
