Licensure Information
Time spent working under an Emergency license can count towards Professional Teacher Status* if you obtain a Provisional or Initial academic license or a Preliminary Vocational license within two years of the date of issuance of the Emergency license in the field and continue to work for the same employer under the newly acquired license. https://www.doe.mass.edu/licensure/emergency/
*Professional Teacher Status is a designation in Massachusetts law signifying that a school employee has served a certain probationary period and has thereby obtained some measure of job security. Massachusetts General Law Chapter 71 § 41 provides PTS teachers with both substantive and procedural protections against dismissal and suspension. Who is eligible for PTS? Teachers, school librarians, school adjustment counselors, school nurses, school social workers and school psychologists are eligible for PTS, including those employed in vocational schools. M.G.L. c. 71 § 41, M.G.L. c. 74 §22E. - https://massteacher.org/
