The following items were discussed during the March meeting held at the Jefferson County Educational Service Center:

 

  1. The next date for the Jefferson County LPDC is April 19, 2006. Teachers who are renewing and/or transitioning to a license need to have their renewal packet and new IPDP sent to Carol Webb at Central Office at least one week before this date so she can process and send to JCESC in time for the April meeting.
     

  2. June 30, 2006 is the last date that an 8-Year Certificate can be renewed. You must include a new IPDP with your renewal packet and send to Carol Webb at Central Office at least one week before the April meeting to be included for review.
     

  3. Remember to RENEW ON TIME !! The holder of a certificate or license that has been expired for a minimum of one day and up to five years must successfully complete the equivalent of 9 semester hours to renew.
     

  4. The University of Phoenix (AZ) has been added to the list of approved colleges and universities. There are now 28. Your LPDC rep has a copy of the updated list.
