Overview
This bill directs the New Jersey State Board of Education to create and authorize a specific endorsement for teachers who specialize in educating blind or visually impaired students from kindergarten through 12th grade. It simplifies the certification process for these teachers, allowing those with a Kindergarten through Grade 12 endorsement to teach in all public schools without needing additional subject or grade-level endorsements. The bill also requires candidates for this endorsement to complete a state-approved program and meet other board-established requirements.
