Senate Amendment 5259

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.  By renumbering as necessary.
