General Information
Action Summary The 2015 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 1320 that amended requirements for licensure renewal. Every person seeking renewal of a license shall complete all renewal requirements, including professional development in a manner prescribed by the Board, except that no person seeking renewal of a license shall be required to satisfy any such requirement by completing coursework and earning credit at an institution of higher education. The 2015 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 2137 that amended Section 22.1-298.1 of the Code of Virginia to permit the Board of Education, upon request of the employing school division or educational agency, to issue a provisional license to a teacher seeking an initial license in the Commonwealth who has not attained an industry certification credential in the area in which the teacher seeks endorsement to allow time for the teacher to attain such required credential. The 2013 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 2084 and Senate Bill 1175 (identical bills) that established a Teach For America License. These bills became effective July 1, 2013, and have been implemented. The 2013 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 2151 and Senate Bill 1223 that eliminated the Local Eligibility License. These bills became effective July 1, 2013, and have been implemented.
