 A
Local Professional Development Committee (LPDC), composed of
teachers and administrators, according to state mandate, has been
established to give school districts greater
control over the implementation and approval of
professional development requirements for certification and licensure.
Our district has an active LPDC in place.
The purpose of the LPDC is to oversee the review procedures for
certificate and license renewal. The committee,
rather than the state, has become the signatory
for renewal of current certificates and future licenses. Educators
who hold permanent certificates will not be affected. Teachers
wishing to upgrade a certificate need not go
through the LPDC but should make direct
application to the Ohio Department of Education.
