1. If the board of trustees of a school district determines that a shortage of teachers exists within the school district in a particular subject area, the board of trustees may, on or before September 1 of the school year in which such a determination is made, submit a written request to the Superintendent of Public Instruction to employ persons who are licensed teachers but who do not hold an endorsement to teach in the subject area for which there is a shortage of teachers at a public school within the school district. The Superintendent of Public Instruction may grant such a request if the Superintendent determines that a shortage of teachers exists in the subject area. If the Superintendent of Public Instruction grants a request pursuant to this subsection, a person who holds a license to teach but not an endorsement in the subject area for which the request was granted may be employed by the school district for not more than 3 school years to teach in that subject area at a public school within the school district.
2. If the Superintendent of Public Instruction grants a request pursuant to subsection 1, the Superintendent shall submit a written report to the Commission and the State Board that includes the name of the school district for which the request was granted and the subject area for which the request was granted. Upon receipt of such a report, the Commission and the State Board shall consider whether to adopt revisions to the requirements for an endorsement in that subject area to address the shortage of teachers.
