Minnesota Teaching (K-12) CE audits & penalties
What happens if a tier 4 teaching license misses CE requirements in Minnesota, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
PELSB states there is no penalty if a license expires, but anyone teaching or substituting in a Minnesota public or charter school must hold a valid license. A lapsed Tier 4 license holder may apply for a three-year short-call substitute license or work with their relicensure committee to complete 125 clock hours and renew.Verify with board
How compliance is checked
The district relicensure committee must approve and enter all clock hours before renewal; PELSB's renewal specialist approves out-of-state hours.
