Missouri Teaching (K-12) CE audits & penalties
What happens if a career continuous professional certificate misses CE requirements in Missouri, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
A renewal received within eleven months after expiration is backdated to the expiration date; a certificate expired more than eleven months can only be renewed by meeting current certification requirements, unless extenuating circumstances are approved by the commissioner. A career continuous certificate becomes inactive if professional-development make-up hours are not completed within two years; reactivation requires 24 contact hours within six months before or after reactivation.Verify with board
