How may school districts and charter schools determine the certification status of evacuee teachers who are seeking employment?
The majority of teachers seeking employment are from Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Education maintains a website providing certification information about Louisiana teachers: www.teachlouisiana.net. School districts and charter schools may seek a waiver from the commissioner of education to employ Louisiana teachers who are not certified to teach in Texas. Waiver applications are available at the following web address: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/waivers/waiverapps.html. TEA is in contact with the United State Department of Education concerning flexibility that might be available regarding certain requirements for highly-qualified teachers under NCLB. The agency will provide information as it becomes available.
