Can a permanent resident in the US be a public school teacher?

My husband (from Spain) has just received his greencard. He is planning to go back to school for a new degree. He would like to be a public school teacher. Would it be possible for him to get a government job such as teaching if he is only a permanent resident and not yet a citizen?

Yes. I have taught with someone who is not a citizen but he has teaching credential, Masters, etc and has been teaching for years.
