the request:
(a) The request must originate
with the school district.

authorization is being sought shall not be currently endorsed in the area of

paraprofessional; or
(iv) provide
evidence to be assigned as a student teacher engaged in "supervised teaching
experience" as defined in ARM

(2) An emergency
authorization of employment is valid for one year and is eligible for continued
authorization from year to year depending on satisfaction of conditions set
forth in this rule.
(3) Experience
as a classroom teacher when authorized pursuant to this rule qualifies as
teaching experience as defined in ARM
10.57.102(19).

employment for special education teachers is prohibited under federal
regulations and is unavailable to a district for such positions.
