126.266 Exemption from teaching licensure.

Subdivision 1. The commissioner of children, families, and learning may grant an exemption from the licensure requirement in the hiring of teachers of English as a second language or bilingual education teachers to a school district if the commissioner finds that compliance would impose a hardship upon the district in the securing of teachers for its educational programs for limited English proficient students. The commissioner of children, families, and learning shall notify the board of teaching of any exemptions granted pursuant to this section.

Subd. 2. A teacher serving under an exemption as provided in subdivision 1 shall be granted a license as soon as that teacher qualifies for it. Not more than one year of service by a teacher under an exemption shall be credited to the teacher for the purposes of section 125.12. For purposes of section 125.17, a teacher shall receive credit equal to the number of years the teacher served under an exemption.
