Educator Relicensure

MACS License Renewal Committee is no longer meeting for this year.  We are no longer taking submissions.  Our review process will resume in January 2025.

Effective January 1st, 2024, only PELSB-approved Cultural Competency trainings will be accepted by the MACS Relicensure Committee. Trainings that are not on the list of PELSB-approved trainings will not be approved for relicensure.

Teacher & Administrator Licenses/Renewals

All Minnesota charter school and authorizing institution personnel can access the services of the Association's Relicensure Committee.

• Charter School Teachers

  All teachers must have a valid, current Minnesota license in order to teach in a Minnesota charter school. Every teacher is responsible to maintain and renew their professional license according to state rules and submit their renewal hours to a relicensure committee for approval. The Committee only reviews and approves hours for Tier 3 and Tier 4 licenses.
  
  

• Charter School Administrators

  Minnesota charter school administrators are not required to hold an administrative license. However, an individual with an administrator license is responsible for renew their professional license every five years with clock hours pre-approved by the Minnesota Board of School Administrators.
