Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 12, June 17, 2024
Section 6A:9B-5.4 - Certification responsibilities of the district board of education(a) The chief school administrator of the employing district board of education shall require each newly employed teaching staff member, or each teaching staff member reassigned to a new grade level, subject area, or administrative position, to produce an appropriate certificate before the employee assumes any responsibility for the performance of assigned duties. The chief school administrator shall ensure the certificate is valid.(b) Each chief school administrator annually shall report the names and teaching assignments of all teaching staff members to the Department in a Commissioner-prescribed format. (c) A teaching staff member's contract or engagement shall cease and terminate if the employing district board of education is notified, in writing, by the executive county superintendent, or otherwise ascertains, that the teaching staff member is not, or has ceased to be, the holder of an appropriate certificate required for such employment. A teaching staff member's employment shall cease and terminate even if the term of employment pursuant to a contract or an engagement has not expired.(d) If a properly notified district board of education fails to terminate the employment of an uncertified or improperly certified teaching staff member, the Commissioner may issue an order to show cause why an amount equaling the teaching staff member's per diem salary for each day the teaching staff member remains employed should not be withheld from the school district's State financial aid. If the district board of education fails to respond or show adequate cause within 20 days from the date the order to show cause was mailed, the Commissioner may reduce the school district's State financial aid by the determined amount of the uncertified or improperly certified teaching staff member's per diem salary. The district board of education may show adequate cause either by exhibiting an appropriate certificate or by terminating the employment of the uncertified or improperly certified teaching staff member.N.J.
