Flexibility for educator licensure renewal 
The Ohio Department of Education is providing deadline flexibility for educator licensure renewal. Licenses previously set to expire on July 1 have been extended to Dec. 1, 2020. This allows educators additional time to complete their requirements for renewal. Educators who have met the requirements should submit the online application now to avoid longer processing times. |
