We
have
a
motion
and
second
on
the
amendment
we're
going
to
put
that
on
there
and
have
you
discuss
it
all
right.
All
in
favor
of
adding
amendment
drafting
code
7288
to
house
bill
1538
indicate
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay.
The
amendment
is
on
the
bill.
Charlotte
weber,
you
are
recognized
to
explain
your
bill
as
amended.
C
C
So
it's
fully
funded
by
the
feds.
There
is
no
cost
to
the
states.
The
state
whatsoever
they're
entirely
separate
unit
they're
going
to
be
parked
under
the
that's.
What
we
had
to
work
out
with
this
amendment
chairman.
We
had
to
find
out
where
they
were
going
to
be
parked
under
to
be
administrated
part
of
this
bill,
and
so
in
order
for
that
to
be
for
them
to
be
administrative,
they're
going
to
be
under
f
a
and
the
office
of
inter
of
investigative
inspection.
General
excuse
me,
it's
been
a
long
weekend.
C
It
should
go
to
the
people
that
are
sincerely
disabled
and
need
to
have
their
help,
and
we
just
can't
have
people
gaming,
the
system
so
by
setting
up
this
separate
entity
which
tennessee
is
the
lead
on
this
in,
in
other
words,
they're
looking
to
us
to
again
help
save
the
people
of
tennessee
a
bunch
of
money.
Does
that
make
any
sense
to
you,
or
I
will
take
questions
if
you
want
to
ask
me
further
questions.
C
A
A
A
C
A
A
C
The
recruitment
and
retention
of
effective
educators
is
an
issue
impacting
public
education
in
tennessee
and
without
high
quality
teachers.
Public
school
students
suffer
so
generally.
If
a
teacher
would
like
to
add
an
endorsement,
they
are
required
to
attend
an
educator
preparation
program
and
submit
qualifying
scores
on
an
assessment.
C
Now
we
did
take
care.
There's
an
exception,
however,
that
it
would
not
apply
to
a
teacher
if
they
are
adding
an
endorsement
in
grades
k
through
three
based
on
the
tennessee
literacy
success
that
we
passed
during
the
special
session.
So
again,
the
goal
of
this
bill
of
this
alternative
endorsement
pathway
is
to
increase
retention
of
high
quality
educators
by
providing
additional
flexibility
at
the
local
level
and
thus
benefit
our
students.
This
allows
the
leas
additional
flexibility
and
gives
our
veteran
educators
mobility
and
it's
a
win-win
for
our
schools,
our
teachers
and
especially
our
students.
C
Massachusetts
is
one
it
is
the
top
state
in
the
nation
for
performance
and
they
do
not
do
a
praxis.
So
praxis
costs
our
teachers
pocket
money
out
of
their
own
pocket,
and
if
these
teachers
are
four
and
five
they're
highly
qualified
they've
been
evaluated
as
best
in
in
their
district.
Then
why
in
the
world,
should
they
not
be
able
to
follow
through
and
do
those
indoor
and
and
do
that
extra
feel?
And
one
other
note
I
wanted
to
read
a
testimonial
from
a
teacher
who
sent
me
this.
I
have
many.
C
This
is
one
this
teacher
says
I
have
taught
in
tennessee
for
the
past
six
years,
but
decided
to
obtain
my
masters
through
the
university
in
alabama
and
now
that
it
is
time
to
take
my
praxis
exam
for
alabama.
I
contacted
the
department
of
education
in
in
tennessee
to
make
sure
my
scores
would
be
reciprocated
just
like
they
were
for
my
undergrad
praxis
scores,
but
unfortunately,
the
tennessee
department
of
education
will
not
accept
the
same
test
scores.
C
C
I
would
thoroughly
support
anything
that
you
could
do
to
help
us
get
rid
of
this
practice.
That's
not
needed
for
these
certain
groups
of
teachers
and
allow
them
to
do
what
they
do
best,
and
that
is
teach
and
we
live.
I
mean
our
state
is
surrounded
by
eight
other
states
that
a
lot
of
these
teachers
are
leaving
our
state
and
going
to
other
states
who
don't
have
to
deal
with
this
type
of
endorsement
or
testing.
So
that's,
basically
what
the
bill
does.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
some
of
the
concerns
that
I've
heard,
especially
from
folks
who
work
at
different
universities
across
the
state
with
teacher
prep
programs,
are
are
concerned
about
how
much
how
much
time
they're
going
to
actually
have
in
the
this
new
field.
In
a
teacher
prep
program,
some
teacher,
prep
programs
or
programs
that
call
themselves
that
are
five
weeks.
Others
are
you
know
a
year,
some
or
four
years,
so
I'm
is
there
any
minimum
here
of
what
that
program
needs
to
be
represented.
Weaver.
C
D
In
prep,
for
so
say,
you're
teaching,
sixth
grade
science
and
then
you're
going
to
go
and
teach
physics.
I
I
don't
think
you
could
should
go
straight
there
without
some
preparation,
and
the
concern
is
that
we've
talked
about
spending
such
a
long
time,
making
sure
that
we
have
good
quality
teachers
in
the
classroom.
And
the
fear
is
that
some
of
this
is
going
to
cause
a
problem
with
the
quality
of
teachers
in
the
classroom
that
we
we
get
in
a
rush.
E
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
committee
ben
torres
with
the
tennessee
school
board
association
and
to
your
question
representative,
I
there
are
a
few
checks
and
bounces
in
here,
and
I
understand
what
you're
saying.
So
when
you
look
at
the
amendment
on
the
bill,
the
state
board
has
the
ability
to
set
up
what
those
teacher
training
program
requirements
are,
so
they
could
state
in
rules
or
policies
depending
on
how
they
want
to
address
the
issue.
E
The
district
has
to
certify
to
the
department
that
the
teacher
met
the
requirements
established
by
the
state
board
before
the
endorsement
is
even
awarded,
so
the
district
would
not
only
set
up
the
program
get
approval.
They
would
also
say
that
the
teacher
met
all
the
requirements
that
the
state
board
outlined
to
get
the
additional
endorsement.
I'm
going
back
to
chair
lady
weaver's
point
about
the
praxis
in
the
six
years.
E
This
would
only
be
open
for
teachers
that
have
already
been
in
the
classroom
six
years
so
to
get
to
the
classroom
in
the
first
place,
they've
had
a
practice
and
they've
had
classroom
experience.
I
understand
your
point
about
switching
from
sixth
grade
to
physics
and
it
would
be
a
different
train
up
if
you
will
to
get
to
that
point.
Obviously,
but
I
think
the
flexibility
at
the
local
level
and
removing
some
of
the
burdens
that
our
teachers
currently
have
to
move
about
would
hopefully
be
helpful
and
retain
in
retaining
those
teachers.
D
F
E
Isn't
they
have
to
enroll
in
higher
ed?
They
have
to
get
the
content
knowledge
they
have
to
take
the
practice
and
that
in
and
of
itself
is
a
barrier
for
those
teachers,
because
it's
all
out
of
their
own
pocket,
they're
they're
they're
paying
for
it.
So
hopefully,
if
a
district
can
set
this
up,
you
have
teachers
that
they're
not
having
to
travel
back
and
forth
they're,
not
having
to
pay
for
anything
out
of
their
own
pocket.
They
can
do
it
where
they
work
where
they
live
and
address
not
only
teacher
burnout,
but
maybe
those
well.
E
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and,
and
this
is
my
my
last-
I
guess
it's
not
a
question,
but
maybe
you
can
verify
it
and
of
course
I
was
on
a
zoom
call
with
a
number
of
directors
of
schools
and-
and
I
was
asking
about
because
of
covid
remote
learning
the
burnout-
the
frustration
maybe
from
our
veteran
teachers
that
are
deciding
to
they
can
retire
so
they're
going
to
go
ahead
and
retire.
Here.
F
Here
was
my
question
to
them
and
the
response
coming
back
and
I
asked
about
burnout,
I
said:
when
do
you
know
a
teacher
is
going
to
stick
with
it
they're
going
to
make
a
career
out
of
teaching,
and
it
was
one
of
the
directors
said
in
five
years.
They
know
so
I'm
I'm
looking
at
the
six
years
and
saying
hey.
Maybe
we're
stumbling
on
to
something
that
will
prevent
that
burnout.
F
Keep
those
teachers
in
a
classroom
but
maybe
teaching
a
different
subject
matter
and,
of
course,
let's
make
a
comment
about
our
military
experience
in
the
military.
We
do
that
too
change.
Mos
is
going
into
a
different
field
and
becoming
a
career
soldier.
But
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you,
mr
taurus.

is
offer

the
opportunity

a
nationally
recognized
career
readiness
assessment
at
no

to

Workkeys

simply

just
helps
connect

any
questions.
A
A
A
Next,
on
the

item
number

6546.
Is

correct?
That's
correct,

and
we

the
bill
as

Do

have
questions
of

has
been

any
objection
to
the
question
seeing
none?
We
are
voting
on

house

1246
to
finance
ways
and
means
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
all

eyes.
Have
it
bill
moves
out
to
finance
ways
and
means?
Mr
vice
chair,
you
have
the
gal
for
the
next
two
bills.
F
A
A
B
A
Okay,
the
purpose
of
this
bill
is
to
ensure
that
the
family
life
curriculum
information
meets
state
standards.
In
addition,
it
allows
a
parent
of
a
student
to
request
to
review
the
information
and
opt
out
of
any
portion
of
family
life
curriculum
without
penalty
to
the
student.
The
bill
does
not
change
state
requirements
concerning
contraceptive
information
that
information
according
to
state
standards,
still
emphasizes
that
abstinence
is
the
only
method
that
removes
all
risk
of
sexually
transmitted
disease
and
pregnancy.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
unchanged
from
what's
already
in
the
code.
F
B
B
F
Any
further
discussion
on
the
bill,
as
amended
question,
has
been
called
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
house
bill
577
to
calendar
and
rules
signify
by
saying
aye,
any
opposition,
nay
bill
moves
on.
If
you
want
to
be
documented
as
a
no
see
the
clerk.
Please
last
item
on
the
calendar
house,
bill
580
by
chairman
reagan:
we've
got
a
motion
and
a
second
traveling
with
the
bill
is
amendment
7245,
chairman
reagan,
you're
recognized.
A
A
This
bill
is
a
cleanup
bill
that
was
originally
carried
by
chairman
dunn
last
session.
It's
been
put
together
primarily
to
correct
issues
in
our
code
based
on
title
four
chapter:
five,
one
section
102
and
past
paragraphs
10
and
12..
Essentially
those
define
what
rules
are
and
what
policies
are
we
had
to
go
back
through
the
code
because
of
those
change
and
find
a
a
lot
of
places
in
our
code
and
correct
those
correct,
correct
those
references
so
that
they
align
with
the
current
code.
A
F
Any
questions
for
chairman
reagan
on
the
bill,
as
amended
with
that
a
lengthy
amendment,
the
question
has
been
called:
there's
no
objection
all
those
in
favor
of
sending
house
bill;
five,
eight
zero
to
calendar
and
rules
signify
by
saying
aye,
nay,
bill
passes
out.
Mr
chairman,
mr
chairman,
that
completes
the
calendar.
The
gavel
is.
A
A
This
review
will
also
have
a
presentation
by
our
new
comptroller
comptroller
mumpower,
so
make
sure
you
plan
to
attend.
In
addition,
other
bills,
of
course,
will
be
heard
at
1400
in
a
regular
house
committee.
At
that
time,
do
we
have
any
business
to
bring
before
the
committee
before
we
adjourn,
seeing
not
any
objection
to
adjournment,
seeing
none
we're
adjourned.
