Subchapter
001
:
INTERSTATE AGREEMENT ON QUALIFICATION OF EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL
(Cite as: 16 V.S.A. § 2041)
-
§ 2041. Purpose, findings, and policy—Article I
1. To improve their respective school systems by utilizing the teacher or other professional
educational person wherever educated, declare that it is the policy of each of them,
on the basis of cooperation with one another, to take advantage of the preparation
and experience of such persons wherever gained, thereby serving the best interests
of society, of education, and of the teaching profession. It is the purpose of this
Agreement to provide for the development and execution of such programs of cooperation
as will facilitate the movement of teachers and other professional educational personnel
among the States party to it and to authorize specific interstate educational personnel
contracts to achieve that end.
2. The party States find that included in the large movement of population among all
sections of the nation are many qualified educational personnel who move for family
and other personal reasons but who are hindered in using their professional skill
and experience in their new locations. Variations from State to State in requirements
for qualifying educational personnel discourage such personnel from taking the steps
necessary to qualify in other States. As a consequence, a significant number of professionally
prepared and experienced educators is lost to our school systems. Facilitating the
employment of qualified educational personnel, without reference to their States of
origin, can increase the available educational resources. Participation in this Compact
can increase the availability of educational manpower. (Added 1969, No. 8, § 1 (Art. I).)
