Exempts certain out-of-field permissions from the limit on renewals for special education assignments.

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to exempt certain out-of-field permissions from the limit on renewals for special education assignments. Specifically, it allows the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board to permit licensed teachers to instruct students in content areas for which they are not licensed, provided they are teaching in an alternative education program. Additionally, it ensures that special education license permissions for low-incidence regions are valid in all such regions.
