§ 3030. Interstate agreement on qualifications of educational\npersonnel. 1. The interstate agreement on qualifications of educational\npersonnel is hereby enacted into law and entered into with all\njurisdictions legally joining therein in the form substantially as\nfollows:\n INTERSTATE AGREEMENT ON QUALIFICATIONS OF EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL\n Article I\n Purpose, Findings, and Policy\n 1. The states party to this agreement, desiring by common action to\nimprove their respective school systems by utilizing the teacher or\nother professional educational person wherever educated, declare that it\nis the policy of each of them, on the basis of cooperation with one\nanother, to take advantage of the preparation and experience of such\npersons wherever gained, thereby serving the best interests of society,\nof education, and of the teaching profession. It is the purpose of this\nagreement to provide for the development and execution of such programs\nof cooperation as will facilitate the movement of teachers and other\nprofessional educational personnel among the states party to it, and to\nauthorize specific interstate educational personnel contracts to achieve\nthat end.\n 2. The party states find that included in the large movement of\npopulation among all sections of the nation are many qualified\neducational personnel who move for family and other personal reasons but\nwho are hindered in using their professional skill and experience in\ntheir new locations. Variations from state to state in requirements for\nqualifying educational personnel discourage such personnel from taking\nthe steps necessary to qualify in other states. As a consequence, a\nsignificant number of professionally prepared and experienced educators\nis lost to our school systems. Facilitating the employment of qualified\neducational personnel, without reference to their states of origin, can\nincrease the available educational resources. Participation in this\ncompact can increase the availability of educational manpower.\n Article II\n Definitions\n As used in this agreement and contracts made pursuant to it, unless\nthe context clearly requires otherwise:\n 1. "Educational personnel" means persons who must meet requirements\npursuant to state law as a condition of employment in educational\nprograms.\n 2. "Designated state official" means the educational official of a\nstate selected by that state to negotiate and enter into, on behalf of\nthis state, contracts pursuant to this agreement.\n 3. "Accept", or any variant thereof, means to recognize and give\neffect to one or more determinations of another state relating to the\nqualifications of educational personnel in lieu of making or requiring a\nlike determination that would otherwise be required by or pursuant to\nthe laws of a receiving state.\n 4. "State" means a state, territory, or possession of the United\nStates; the district of Columbia; or the commonwealth of Puerto Rico.\n 5. "Originating state" means a state (and the subdivision thereof, if\nany) whose determination that certain educational personnel are\nqualified to be employed for specific duties in schools is acceptable in\naccordance with the terms of a contract made pursuant to article III.\n 6. "Receiving state" means a state (and the subdivisions thereof)\nwhich accepts educational personnel in accordance with the terms of a\ncontract made pursuant to article III.\n Article III\n Interstate Educational Personnel Contracts\n 1.

Any such contract\nfor the period of its duration shall be applicable to and binding on the\nstates whose designated state officials enter into it, and t
