Illinois moves toward mandatory recertification for teachers
Illinois State Board of Education proposes rules requiring five year renewal with professional development. About 200,000 teachers may face eight college hours or 120 CPDUs over five years, with debates over fairness and cost and a May 10 public comment deadline. Public hearings, including one at Lockport Township High, gathered about 50 teachers.
