Are teachers who possess inactive or invalid certificates considered to be licensed in Massachusetts?
No. In general, teachers who are employed with inactive or invalid certificates are not licensed (unless specifically exempted in 603 CMR 44.08 (2) or (3)) and therefore, cannot be reported as “Highly Qualified.” They may only be considered licensed if they also possess another active license, or renew their inactive license. Please also refer to Question #24.
