Transitional Certificates Available for Educators with Expired Certificates

Effective immediately, educators whose regular certificates expire by June 30, 2022 and are subject to renewal, are eligible to obtain a transitional certificate.

Due to the pandemic, educators may have had difficulty obtaining 100 clock hours for regular certificate renewal.

The policy change in transitional certificates is intended to provide flexibility for school districts in employing individuals whose certificates are expired. Individuals may maintain employment under a transitional certificate until their expired certificate is renewed.

The transitional certificate is issued upon request by a school district, approved private school, or educational service district upon request for an individual whose regular certificate has expired.

For more details on transitional certificates as a tool for educator certificate renewal, visit frequently asked questions.
