• The next deadline is Sept. 6 to submit material to the Professional Standards Commission for alternative and provisional authorizations.

• Forms have changed for the better –revised and streamlined many forms to reduce duplication and ease of use, and eliminated requirements to attach board minutes

The certification department will send certificates (one to the candidate and one to the district) in lieu of letters for authorized Alternative Authorization and Provisional applications. The certificate will have a “Conditions” section with detailed information for the candidate and the district. The district and the candidate will receive a letter if the application is not approved, except in situations where the application was denied due to ethical or background check issues.
