State Statute
Senate Bill 99-154: Section 9
"The General Assembly recognizes that many school districts face a shortage of teachers and often struggle to find qualified persons to teach their students. Furthermore the General Assembly finds that often persons with experience in areas other than teaching can help alleviate the teacher shortage faced by many school districts so long as these persons receive adequate supervision and education in teaching methods and practices. The General Assembly therefore authorizes school districts to create Alternative Licensure Programs."
