All Nebraska certified personnel must hold a valid certificate or permit by September 1 of the school year; failure to complete the process is not a valid reason to maintain employment. Renewal five or more years after expiration requires meeting current issuance requirements plus either a current out-of-state certificate with recent teaching, one school year of educator-preparation faculty employment, or 15 semester hours of education-related coursework including instructional techniques and 100+ clock hours of field experience (Rule 21, 005.10).Verify with board
