I already have a Professional Eligibility Certificate. Do I have to apply for a new license?

Yes – a PEC is only issued by MSDE to an individual who is not employed by a local school system.  Because you are now contractually employed by HCPSS, you are required to now hold a comparable license, if eligible.  To transition to a license, you must submit an application to renew or advance your unexpired license in TEACH.
