Cosmetology, plumbing, etc. ) that license must ALSO still have a valid license • Chapter 231 proposal – if dual language and team teaching, the “English” teacher can be either ESL or Bil endorsed

  16. Certification discussions • Probationary certificates • possibly start issuing in more than 1 area • Effective date will be beginning of month certificate is issued – does effective date matter to us?
