The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is working with the Professional Educator Standards Board to implement a new application deadline system that requires renewal certification applications to be submitted six months before the certification expiration date. To enforce this change, OSPI is considering rulemaking to make effective starting in the 2030 renewal cycle a late fee for educators who submit applications after their respective certification application deadlines have passed.
WFIS is interested in hearing how this change will affect private school staff.
