Time Extensions for the Initial Reissuance and Provisional Renewal
May 4, 2020. Effective May 20, 2020, educators who hold an Initial certificate, Initial Reissuance, Provisional certificate, or Provisional Renewal can receive one Time Extension after the issuance of their first Initial or Provisional certificate. The Time Extension would add three years to the expiration date of either the Initial certificate, Initial Reissuance, Provisional certificate, or Provisional Renewal. Educators would not be able to earn a Time Extension on both the Initial certificate and Initial Reissuance, or the Provisional certificate and Provisional Renewal, per certificate title.
This change enables educators who hold the Initial Reissuance/Provisional Renewal, but have not received a Time Extension, to earn a Time Extension that would add three years to the expiration date of the Initial Reissuance/Provisional Renewal. Educators who are eligible for both the Time Extension and Initial Reissuance/Provisional Renewal simultaneously would be able to apply for either one first, without foregoing the option of the other one, while completing the requirements for the Professional/Permanent certificate, respectively.
