Submit your comments on special education licensure changes
The Minnesota Board of Teaching has proposed new rules governing special education licensing and is inviting comment on its proposals.
This would affect the following:
- Special education teacher candidates.
- Current special education and regular education teachers.
- School administrators.
- Higher education faculty members.
- Minnesota K-12 students and families.
You may submit comments or information on these possible rules in writing until 4:30 p.m. Nov. 26. The Board will review all comments submitted and draft changes to the rules as needed.
The Board has posted the draft rules on the state Department of Education website. (Scroll down to the Proposed Rules section.)
