Confirmed against Bulletin 746 (Louisiana Standards for State Certification of School Personnel), §507: Level 2 and Level 3 certificates are valid for five years and may be renewed for five years at the request of a Louisiana employing authority, contingent on the educator meeting standards of effectiveness per §103 for at least three years during the five-year initial or renewal period. No numeric continuing-education total applies — renewal is performance-based, not requirement-free. Added 2026-09-30: LA R.S. §17:437.1(B)(1) + BESE Bulletin 741 §1127 require annual minimum 2-hour inservice suicide prevention for teachers/counselors/principals/certain administrators; employment-based, the 150-CLU certificate renewal has no mandated topics (LDOE training guidance).
