“The Treasurer of a Board of Education may not draw a check for the payment of compensation to a teacher until such Treasurer has received from the Superintendent a written statement that the teacher has filed a valid educator’s license, or true copy of such license. The statement from the Superintendent of schools must show that the license is a proper license for the grades and subjects to be taught, and the dates of its validity. As an exception to this general rule, however, a Treasurer is permitted to pay a teacher for services rendered during the first two months of his initial employment with the school district, provided that (1) the teacher is the holder of a bachelor’s degree or higher, and (2) the teacher has filed an application with the State Board of Education for a provisional or professional license.”
