Senate defeats bill on teacher certification reform
The Ohio Senate Education Committee defeated 4 to 4 a bill shifting teacher certification from the Board of Education to a new Ohio Professional Standards Board. About 125 onlookers, many opponents, witnessed the vote. Cecile Gill of Columbus and the Ohio Education Association vowed to revive the measure, arguing current standards are inadequate. Officials from the Department of Education and school administrators defended the present system as professional and nationally recognized. The proposal would create a 17 member board including teachers, trainer program personnel, and a Department of Education representative. July 1987 was cited for potential implementation.
