Section 25.475  Renewal Requirements for Holders of Multiple Types of Certificates

Special provisions shall apply when an individual is performing services on multiple certificates of different types that are subject to renewal requirements, i.e., standard or master teaching certificates, provisional vocational certificates, school service personnel certificates, and administrative certificates.  Completion of one set of requirements shall suffice for renewal of all the affected certificates.

a)         When two types of certificates are being used at the same time, the certificate used by the individual for 50 percent or more of the school day or school term shall govern the continuing professional development required of the individual with respect to that period of time.

1)         Example:  An individual who performs duties on the administrative certificate for 60 percent of the time and teaches for 40 percent of the time on a standard, master, or provisional vocational certificate shall be subject only to the requirements of Section 25.315 of this Part with regard to continuing professional development.

2)         Example:  An individual who serves on a school service personnel certificate for 60 percent of the time and performs duties on the administrative certificate for 40 percent of the time shall be subject only to the requirements of Section 25.275 of this Part with regard to continuing professional development.

3)         Example:  An individual who performs services for 50 percent of the time on a provisional vocational certificate and 50 percent of the time on a school service personnel certificate shall choose either the requirements of Section 25.70 or those of Section 25.275 of this Part to fulfill.

b)         If an individual is serving on more than two types of certificates at the same time, he or she shall be subject to the requirements that apply to the certificate used for the greatest share of the time.  If multiple certificates are used for equivalent shares of an individual's time, the individual shall choose one set of requirements to fulfill.

c)         If a local professional development committee is operating in the district where the individual is employed and the individual holds a standard or master teaching certificate, the individual shall notify the committee as to which set of requirements he or she will meet.
