Veronica RAMOS has completed the coursework for a multiple subject credential but needs additional time to pass one final exam so we will be asking for a Short Term Staff Permit on her behalf. The Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP) was created in response to the phasing out of emergency permits, it allows an employing agency to fill an acute staffing need (see Terms and Definitions) when local recruitment efforts have been made but a fully-credentialed teacher cannot be found. The STSP is only available at the request of an employing agency. Individuals may not apply directly to the Commission for this document. Holders of the STSP are restricted to service with the employing agency requesting the permit. An employing agency is defined as a California public school district, county office of education, nonpublic, nonsectarian school and agency as defined in Education Code sections 56365 and 56366, charter school, or statewide agency. The STSP is available in the areas of Multiple Subject, Single Subject, and Education Specialist. Individuals who were issued four or fewer Long-Term Emergency Permits may be issued a STSP. Individuals who were issued five Long-Term Emergency Permits do not qualify for the STSP.
Ana Canez will be applying for a provisional intern permit and has already been accepted into a credential program for Multiple Subjects. The Provisional Internship Permit (PIP) was created in response to the phasing out of emergency permits and became effective on July 1, 2005. It allows an employing agency to fill an immediate staffing need by hiring an individual who has not yet met the subject matter competence requirement needed to enter an intern program. Prior to requesting a PIP, the employing agency must verify that a diligent search has been made, and a fully-credentialed teacher cannot be found. The PIP is only available at the request of an employing agency. Individuals may not apply directly to the Commission for this document. Holders of the PIP are restricted to service with the employing agency requesting the permit. An employing agency is defined as a California public school district, county office of education, nonpublic, nonsectarian school and agency as defined in Education Code sections 56365 and 56366, charter school, or statewide agency. The PIP is available in the areas of Multiple Subject, Single Subject, and Education Specialist. Individuals who were issued four or fewer Long-Term Emergency Permits may be issued the PIP as long as the employer requirements have been met. Individuals who were issued five Long-Term Emergency Permits do not qualify for the PIP. |
