Title 20-A - §13901. Purpose, findings and policy - Article I
Title 20-A: EDUCATION
Part 6: TEACHERS
Chapter 511: INTERSTATE AGREEMENT ON QUALIFICATIONS OF EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL
Subchapter 1: AGREEMENT
§13901. Purpose, findings and policy - Article I
1. Purpose. The states party to this agreement, desiring by common action to improve their respective school systems by utilizing the
teacher or other professional educational person wherever educated, declare that it is the policy of each of them, on the
basis of cooperation with one another, to take advantage of the preparation and experience of such persons wherever gained,
thereby serving the best interests of society, of education and of the teaching profession. It is the purpose of this agreement
to provide for the development and execution of such programs of cooperation as will facilitate the movement of teachers and
other professional educational personnel among the states party to it, and to authorize specific interstate educational personnel
contracts to achieve that end.
[1981, c. 693, §§5, 8 (new).]
2. Findings. The party states find that included in the large movement of population among all sections of the nation are many qualified
educational personnel who move for family and other personal reasons but who are hindered in using their professional skill
and experience in their new locations. Variations from state to state in requirements for qualifying educational personnel
discourage such personnel from taking the steps necessary to qualify in other states. As a consequence, a significant number
of professionally prepared and experienced educators is lost to our school systems. Facilitating the employment of qualified
educational personnel, without reference to their states of origin, can increase the available educational resources. Participation
in this agreement can increase the availability of educational manpower.
[RR 1991, c. 2, §68 (cor).]

with the same force and effect as if incorporated in this agreement. A designated state official may enter into a contract
pursuant to this Article only with states in which the official finds that there are programs of education, certification
standards or other acceptable qualifications that assure preparation or qualification of educational personnel on a basis
sufficiently comparable, even though not identical to that prevailing in that official's own state.
[1981, c. 693, § § 5, 8(new) .]
2. Provisions. Any such contract shall provide for:
