Extractions: State House Room 20 STATE HOUSE Rep. Stephen J. Anderson (D-Dist. 42) of Coventry believes an education proposal offered this week by the governor might deserve some compliments, if it weren't a 50 percent step back from what's already been accomplished by the General Assembly. Gov. Lincoln Almond, during an address to the Rhode Island Public Expenditures Council on Wednesday, said he believes the state should make funds available to pay for half the $2,000 cost of national teacher certification. "I'm glad the governor is a supporter of national certification for our state's teachers," said Representative Anderson. "But the current state budget crafted by the General Assembly has already committed $45,000 to reimburse the entire $2,000 application fee for any teacher undertaking the year-long national certification process. It is anticipated that that $45,000 will be substantially bolstered, or fully matched, by a grant from the Rhode Island Foundation, said Representative Anderson, who has for years led the legislative effort to fund and promote teacher participation in the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
