Board approves variable-term waiver to allow emergency credentialing for teacher in credentialing program
Summary
The board approved a variable-term waiver that permits a teacher who assumed a STEM class midyear to work under emergency credentialing while completing required credential steps.
The Palmdale Aerospace Academy District board approved a variable-term waiver to allow emergency credentialing for a teacher who took over a STEM class midyear and is enrolled in a credentialing program.
Staff explained the waiver covers teachers who are actively participating in an approved credential program but have not yet completed certification. The board approved the waiver on a voice vote; staff said the waiver permits the teacher to continue instructing while completing required credential steps and standardizes the district's use of the emergency credential process for similar cases.
The waiver authorizes district staff to continue coursework oversight and to process emergency credential paperwork as the teacher works toward full certification. No additional budget implications were discussed at the meeting and staff said the matter is limited to credentialing process and personnel paperwork rather than new policy changes.
The motion to recommend approval of the variable-term waiver passed by voice vote during the meeting.
