Emergency Authorization of Employment

Emergency Authorization of Employment (EAE) applications are now being processed. Avoid delays to your application by remembering to upload all required documents. Applications are incomplete if they do not include the required documents attached in the Employment Information element. Applications will be accepted throughout the school year as your district will not receive Quality Educator Payment for an EAE! Questions? Email Crystal Andrews, Director of Licensure
