Memo: NSEA Seeks Amendment to SB313

NSEA appreciates the importance of mental health education and the intent of SB313; however, we are seeking amendments and clarifications to bill language related to requirements for teacher licensure
Amend SB313 2023
By: Nevada State Education Association, The Voice of Nevada Educators For Over 120 Years
Published: April 3, 2023

For license renewal, teachers are currently required to complete 15 hours of professional development per year. SB313 requires completion of at least two credits in a course in mental health for renewal, similar to the old professional development regime.

We ask that language in SB313 be amended to harmonize with existing requirements. Also, NSEA is concerned about access to the course envisioned in SB313. Similar requirements have resulted in uneven access to professional development courses across the state. We ask that any professional development required in SB313 be uniformly available to teachers across the state
