The Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board must establish a program review panel (PRP) as a standing committee of the board to assist with program review and approval processes. PRP membership must include but is not limited to representation from the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board, Minnesota Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, Education Minnesota, and varying types of teacher preparation and teacher advocacy organizations. The PRP will consult with content experts as needed. PRP members will recuse themselves from reviews of their current or former unit or programs or other perceived conflicts of interest as directed by the board's executive director. Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board staff will facilitate the work of the PRP and serve as nonvoting members. The PRP will make recommendations to the board regarding approval of licensure programs referred to them.
