Section 13:28-6.24 - Employment of licensed teachers

(a) A school shall permit only a licensed teacher or a registered teacher training student, under the direct supervision of a licensed teacher, to teach its students; provided, however, a demonstrator may demonstrate new processes, preparations and appliances to a class of school students if such demonstration is supervised by a licensed teacher at the school.

(b) Each school shall employ a teacher supervisor who has been a licensed teacher actively teaching for a period of two years who will be responsible for the conduct of the teaching staff and students. A teacher may be designated as the teacher supervisor for one school only. The name of the teacher supervisor shall be posted in a location clearly visible to all students and school staff members.

(c) The teacher supervisor shall be on-site at all times while school is in session and shall be responsible for conducting frequent observations of the teaching staff and the students throughout the school day.

(d) When the teacher supervisor is absent from the school, the school shall ensure that another licensed teacher who has been actively teaching for a period of two years is physically present to oversee the teaching staff and the students. The name of the teacher who will be supervising the school during the teacher supervisor's absence shall be posted in a location clearly visible to all students and school staff members.

(e) The teacher supervisor shall be responsible for conducting competency evaluations of all members of the teaching staff at least once per school year.

(f) Each school shall submit a list of its teachers and registered teacher training students to the Board and advise the Board in writing immediately of changes in its teaching staff.
