This section shall not apply to trade, vocational, temporary substitute teachers, or exchange teachers, or to teaching or administrative interns from an institution of higher learning in the commonwealth, provided approval for the employment of such personnel shall be granted by the department under such rules and regulations as it may adopt. As used in this section "teaching or administrative intern" shall be a student who has completed his practice teacher requirements and seeks additional experience in part time teaching or administrative positions.

MENT    FORMULA    BY    ELIMINATING    THE    DEDUCTION    FOR FEDERAL PAYMENTS RECEIVED.
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to eliminate forthwith certain provisions in the laws of the commonwealth which would, on July the first in the current year, result in the suspension of all federal payments for school aid in the commonwealth under Public Law 81-874, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows:
Section 1. Section 4 of chapter 70 of the General Laws, as appearing in section 40 of chapter 14 of the acts of 1966, is hereby amended by striking out, in lines 17 and 18, the words "together with any amounts received from the federal government" and by striking out, in lines 21 and 22, the words "and such amounts received from the federal government;".
Section 2. This act shall take effect on June the twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred and seventy.                       Approved June 24,1970.
