Section 6.61.9.10 - RENEWAL OF AN ENDORSEMENT WAIVER

Endorsement waivers may be renewed if evidence of enrollment in or pending completion of required coursework and testing requirements is provided. It shall be the sole responsibility of the district, state-chartered charter school, or state institution to submit this documentary evidence to the department's licensure bureau.

A. Requests for the renewal of an endorsement waiver shall:

(1) be submitted by the superintendent, state-chartered charter school administrator, or the governing authority of a state institution, on a department-approved form;

(2) document all courses completed and exams taken by the candidate in the prior school year;

(3) demonstrate the candidate's compliance with all conditions required by the department for issuance of an endorsement waiver in the prior school year; and

(4) contain a detailed plan for completion of endorsement requirements within the current school year by the educator.

B. Endorsement renewals shall not be approved if:

(1) the candidate does not consent to providing the instructional services required of the position for which the waiver is being sought;

(2) prior non-use of an endorsement waiver is used as the reason for renewing the waiver; or

(3) the request for renewal does not comply with the requirements of 6.61.9.8 NMAC.

C. Endorsement renewals may not be approved if the candidate fails to complete and earn credit for college coursework to obtain the requisite credentials or obtain the degree required for the endorsement without good cause as determined by the department.

D. Provided that the holder of an endorsement waiver has complied with all conditions for the issuance of an endorsement imposed during the preceding school year, there shall be no need for the public school or state institution to reestablish the existence of an emergency.
