How will SBEC verify that an educator has satisfied renewal requirements?
Each educator will affirm through an online affidavit submitted to SBEC that all requirements for renewal have been met. Information regarding criminal history and compliance with student loan and child support obligations will be obtained by SBEC from other state agencies. If information is presented falsely on the affidavit, the educator could be subject to criminal charges and sanctioning of his/her certificate(s). Educators are responsible for maintaining a record of their Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits, and will not need to submit evidence of completion of CPE credits unless specifically requested by SBEC for audit purposes. It is the responsibility of the educator and the ISD to determine which workshops or trainings meet the requirements for standard certificate renewal. SBEC staff will not make these determinations. Please do not contact SBEC staff requesting verification of CPE activities. CPE applicability determinations must be documented and maintained loca
