Rule 83. Under procedures established by the department, the department may grant temporary approval as a teacher of students with disabilities to persons who hold a valid Michigan teaching certificate. The employing superintendent shall certify that the district conducted a search for fully qualified personnel and that no certified teacher who holds full approval or endorsement for the position was available at the time of the assignment. Continuation of temporary approval shall be dependent upon the satisfactory completion of not less than 6 semester or equivalent hours of required credit toward full approval between August 31 of the current school year and September 1 of the next school year that the teacher is employed. The school district is not required to conduct a search for a fully qualified teacher in successive school years if the candidate meets these requirements. The school district is not required to remove a teacher under temporary or continuing approval when a fully approved or endorsed teacher becomes available.
