Teacher Relicensure
The Relicensure Committee is a volunteer committee that:
- examines the educational experience documentation of teachers
- verifies that the experiences are germane to the licensure area
- determines that the teacher is eligible for license renewal
- enters informational data into the MDE Licensing system
- and upholds the Board of Teaching Laws.
The committee serves as an informational agent on licensure for the professional staff.
