Recently, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) informed colleges and universities of the flat fee for Board of Examiners (BOE) members. In Indiana, the Indiana Professional Standards Board will continue to pay expenses for BOE members per the current practice.

Rule 9 Licenses and Permits

At the June 18 meeting, the IPSB approved Rule 9, the requirements and procedures for the issuance and revocation of various licenses and permits. The Board added a definition of student teaching as "a supervised pre-service practice occurring near the end of a candidate's program" to the rule.

The rule now goes to the Office of the Attorney General then to the Office of the Governor for review. The rule goes into effect when filed in the Office of the Secretary of State. We will keep you posted on the promulgation process.

Three members of the IPSB completed their terms of service at the June meeting. Jane Boultinghouse and Sandra Kelly began their service in 1999. Connie Griffith, who has served since 1992 as a member of the original board, was recognized by Governor O'Bannon as a Sagamore of the Wabash. Thanks to all three for their dedicated service on the board and committees.
