Introduced·1/14/25
Introduced Text

Veteran teachers with 20+ years of service can renew their certificates annually through district professional development.

This bill amends South Carolina's education code to allow veteran teachers with 20 or more years of service and a professional certificate to renew their certificates annually by participating in required district professional development. This renewal process exempts them from any additional requirements, including the Certificate Renewal Plan developed by the Office of Teacher Certification. The provisions apply regardless of other laws.
