A. The legal counsels of DESE and PSRS agreed and determined that any educator certificate, with exception to Provisional and Temporary authorizations, that has an expiration date on or after August 28, 2003 is actually “inactive”. Therefore individuals with “inactive” certificates are considered to be certificated for purposes of determining PSRS eligibility. Please contact DESE at (573) 751-0051 if you still have questions regarding educator’s certificates, and please contact your Employer Services Representative for questions about PSRS/PEERS eligibility.
