Policy GCDA
Each teacher must hold a State Teacher Certificate to receive pay legally and to prevent state subsidy penalties to the city.
It is essential that each teacher’s Central Office record have up-to-date certification information, including type of certification held, special endorsements, date of issuance, and date of expiration. Teachers new to the system should bring their certificates to the Superintendent’s Office so a copy can be made and placed on file. Also, other teachers in the system who received renewal of certificates since the previous school year should submit them to the Central Office for copying.
Any teacher without certification on the opening day of school will be in breach of contract and will not be paid for any time served without proper certification. If the teacher has applied for re-certification and level of certification is the result of the Department of Certification not completing the application, the teacher will continue to receive his/her salary.
