Message from the Superintendent

Helen TolanIt’s hard to believe right now, but spring Floweris on the way. At some point we will quit having snow and cold and the flowers will bloom. Spring means it is time to make sure your certificate is in order for the coming school year. It’s a good idea to try to get this covered prior to your summer vacation. Registration forms have been mailed to all the public schools in Sangamon County. If your standard certificate is due, you may renew now. The advantage of renewing early is that any professional ROE 51 Schoolsdevelopment you do after April 1st may roll over to the next renewal in 2015. For example, if you are in a spring course and it ends in May OR you have a student teacher in the spring, you will be able to ROLL OVER CPDU’s for the next cycle—ONLY if you complete the renewal process including paying your $25.00 early.(Click here for the complete article.)
