Teacher Relicensure
2023 Relicensure Committee Open Meeting
The Relicensure Committee will be holding its Annual Open Meeting on Wednesday, March 29th from 2:00-4:00 pm. This is a time for Tier 3 and Tier 4 teachers to come and ask questions and get assistance with their paperwork in preparation for the renewal process. You can stop in at UHG Room 108B or join the Virtual Meeting Option.
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.
