Once issued, a participant's registration is valid for a period of three school years only in the sponsoring school district. The sponsoring district must submit a Confirmation of Employment for the participant each year.
The registration becomes invalid upon its expiration date, subsequent issuance of an educator certificate, separation from employment in the sponsoring district, or State Board of Education disciplinary action. The district must notify the South Carolina Department of Education Office of Educator Services if a noncertified teacher leaves employment. The South Carolina Department of Education will then set the registration to non-current status.
Pursuant to Section 59‑18‑1115(E)(3), if a noncertified teacher is dismissed, resigns, or is otherwise separated from employment with a district following allegations of misconduct, the district superintendent must report to the Chair of the State Board of Education and the State Superintendent of Education the educator’s name and registration information. Upon a finding of just cause as defined in Section 59-25-160, the State Board of Education is authorized to revoke the noncertified teacher’s registration.
