The Professional Educator Standards Board has extended the validity period on certificates expiring June 30, 2020 for one additional year. Certificates will now expire June 30, 2021. This policy change is effective immediately.
This applies to residency, professional, initial, and continuing certificates for all roles, including teacher, administrator, career and technical education (CTE), and all educational staff associate (ESA) roles.
Individuals with certificates expiring June 30, 2020 who already applied for certificate renewal will be granted the same one year extension on their renewed certificates. Individuals with permits are eligible for an additional one-year permit.
Educators do not need to take any action in order to be granted this one year extension.
