CHAPTER 639 

An Act to amend and reenact � 22.1-299 of the Code of 
Virginia, relating to teachers employed in certain private schools; provisional 
licenses; extension. 

[H 1469] 

Approved April 2, 2020 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 22.1-299 of the Code of Virginia is amended and 
reenacted as follows:

� 22.1-299. License required of teachers; provisional 
licenses; exceptions.

A. No teacher shall be regularly employed by a school board or 
paid from public funds unless such teacher holds a license or provisional 
license issued by the Board.

B. Notwithstanding the provision in � 22.1-298.1 that the 
provisional license is limited to three years, the following exceptions shall 
apply:

1. If a teacher employed in the Commonwealth under a 
provisional license is activated or deployed for military service within a 
school year (July 1-June 30), an additional year shall be added to the 
teacher's provisional license for each school year or portion thereof during 
which the teacher is activated or deployed. The additional year shall be 
granted the year following the return of the teacher from deployment or 
activation.

2. The Board shall extend for at least one additional year, 
but for no more than two additional years, the three-year provisional license 
of a teacher upon receiving from the division superintendent (i) a 
recommendation for such extension and (ii) satisfactory performance evaluations 
for such teacher for each year of the original three-year provisional license.

3. The Board shall extend for at least one additional year, 
but for no more than two additional years, the three-year provisional license 
of a teacher employed in an accredited private elementary or secondary school 
or a school for students with disabilities that is licensed pursuant to Chapter 
16 (� 22.1-319 et seq.) upon receiving from the school administrator of such 
school (i) a recommendation for such extension and (ii) satisfactory 
performance evaluations for such teacher for each year of the original 
three-year provisional license.

C. In accordance with regulations prescribed by the Board, a 
person not meeting the requirements for a license or provisional license may be 
employed and paid from public funds by a school board temporarily as a 
substitute teacher to meet an emergency.
