Texas Administrative Code › Title 19 - EDUCATION › Part 7 - STATE BOARD FOR EDUCATOR CERTIFICATION › Chapter 232 - GENERAL CERTIFICATION PROVISIONS › Subchapter A - CERTIFICATE RENEWAL AND CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS › Section 232.1 - General Provisions

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) All educators
				  should model the philosophy of life-long learning; therefore, participation in
				  professional development activities is expected of all educators. Activities
				  must focus on the need of each educator to continually update his or her
				  knowledge of current content, best practices, research, and technology that is
				  relevant to his or her individual role as an educator. The State Board for
				  Educator Certification (SBEC) shall ensure that requirements for renewal and
				  continuing professional education are flexible to allow each individual
				  educator to identify the activities he or she will complete to satisfy the
				  SBEC's requirements.
(b) This
				  chapter provides the minimum requirements necessary to renew any class of
				  certificate issued by the SBEC.
(c)
				  Each individual who holds a standard certificate(s) is responsible for renewing
				  the certificate(s) and paying a fee for late renewal. Failure to receive notice
				  of the renewal requirement or deadline does not excuse the individual's
				  obligation to renew or pay applicable fees.
(d) An educator may not renew a certificate
				  if the individual fails to comply with the requirements of this
				  subchapter.
(e) Pursuant to the
				  Texas Education Code, §
										21.003(a),
				  an educator employed by a Texas public school district who fails to satisfy
				  each of the requirements to renew his or her standard certificate(s) by the
				  renewal date moves to inactive status and is ineligible for employment in a
				  Texas public school district in a position for which a certificate is required
				  until all appropriate requirements are satisfied. However, if an educator has
				  completed the requirements for renewal and submitted a renewal application
				  prior to the expiration date of the certificate, the certificate will not be
				  considered to have expired.
Texas Administrative Code › Title 19 - EDUCATION › Part 7 - STATE BOARD FOR EDUCATOR CERTIFICATION › Chapter 232 - GENERAL CERTIFICATION PROVISIONS › Subchapter A - CERTIFICATE RENEWAL AND CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS › Section 232.5 - Renewal Date for Certificates

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) The
				  renewal date of a standard certificate shall be five years after the last day
				  of the certificate holder's next birth month.
(b) If an educator holds multiple
				  certificates, all certificates will be renewed concurrently and are subject to
				  renewal after the last day of the certificate holder's birth month in the year
				  in which the earliest certificate was issued.
(c) Pursuant to the Texas Education Code,
				  §
										21.0031(f),
				  a certificate or permit is not considered to have expired if the educator has
				  completed the renewal requirements of this subchapter and has applied for
				  renewal prior to the expiration date of the certificate or permit. Pursuant to
				  the Texas Government Code, §
										2001.054, if an
				  educator makes timely and sufficient application for the renewal or extension
				  of a certificate or permit that is not granted because of the pendency of a
				  matter subject to notice and hearing pursuant to Chapter 249 of this title
				  (relating to Disciplinary Proceedings, Sanctions, and Contested Cases), the
				  existing certificate or permit does not expire until the application for
				  renewal or extension has been finally determined by the State Board for
				  Educator Certification (SBEC) and the last day for seeking review of the SBEC
				  order has passed.
(d) The renewal
				  of a certificate that is delayed as a result of failure to meet the renewal
				  requirements of this subchapter will not become effective until all renewal
				  requirements have been satisfied.
(e) If all renewal requirements have been
				  satisfied and submitted to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the effective
				  renewal date of a certificate or permit will not be affected by any TEA
				  processing delay.

										232.7
				  of this title (relating to Requirements for Certificate Renewal). The renewal
				  date of a reactivated certificate(s) shall be five years after the last day of
				  the certificate holder's next birth month.
(b) A person who satisfies all requirements
				  for renewal prior to the certificate expiration date and submits an application
				  after the expiration date of a certificate shall pay a late renewal fee in
				  addition to the standard renewal fee. The certificate status will be set to
				  valid, and the effective date of the certificate will be the day after the
				  prior expiration date. A person whose certificate has become inactive longer
				  than six months after the expiration date because of failure to renew shall pay
				  a late renewal fee in addition to the standard renewal fee. The certificate
				  status will be set to valid, and the effective date of the certificate will be
				  the date the educator completed continuing professional education (CPE) hours,
				  provided it is not more than 60 days prior to the date of the application. If
				  the application is submitted more than 60 days after CPE hours were completed,
				  the effective date will be 60 days prior to the date of the application. The
				  amount of these fees shall be as provided in §
										230.101
				  of this title (relating to Schedule of Fees for Certification
				  Services).
(c) If a person does not
				  satisfy the required CPE hours at the expiration of the renewal period, the
				  person may have the certificate(s) removed from inactive status and reactivated
				  by verifying through an affidavit whether he or she is in compliance with
				  renewal requirements, including CPE hours, and paying any applicable
				  fee(s).
