A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4541 AS INTRODUCED 3-28-01
House Bill 4541 would amend the Revised School Code to change the minimum qualifications for substitute teachers. Under current law the board of a school district or intermediate school district may employ a person without a teaching certificate as a substitute teacher if the person has at least 90 semester hours of college credit from a college or university. The bill would amend the provision to specify that a person could be employed as a substitute teacher if he or she had at least 60 hours of college credit from a college or university.
