Tier 1 teachers may begin the process to renew their license for the upcoming 2019-20 school year on July 1, 2019. 

PELSB has published several guides online to help facilitate the renewal process for Tier 1 teachers and their employing school districts and charter schools. The guidance documents include:

• /pelsb/assets/Renewal%20Requirements%20for%20a%20Tier%201%20License%20FS%202021%20POST_tcm1113-375939.pdfTier 1 License Renewal Requirements Fact Sheet

• /pelsb/assets/Tier%201%20Renewal%20Guide%20for%20Employing%20Districts_tcm1113-388740.pdfTier 1 Renewal Guide for Employing Districts and Charter Schools

Tier 1 teachers must complete all renewal requirements before beginning the renewal process. The guides provide more information about each Tier 1 renewal requirement. 

The Tier 1 teacher will need to initiate the renewal process by logging into the Online License Renewal System. After confirming renewal requirements are met, the teacher will receive a prompt in the online system to print documents for the employing district or charter school to complete and submit to PELSB.
