This form is for district superintendents and CSI charter school principals only. If you are a teacher needing information on how to complete your English learner professional development requirements, please proceed to this page.

According to State Board of Education rule 7.02(11)(b-c), a district superintendent or principal of a charter school authorized by CSI may annually request a waiver from the English learner professional development requirements for educators presently employed in their district (or charter school) who hold an elementary, math, science, social studies or English language arts endorsement on a professional teacher license they are seeking to renew if the district or CSI charter school has had an average of 2% or fewer identified English language learners in the three years immediately preceding such request, as identified in the Department’s annual Student October Pupil Enrollment data collection.

The English Language Professional Development waiver is for district superintendents or principals of charter schools authorized by the Charter School Institute (CSI) seeking a waiver from English learner professional development requirements for their educators. Fill out this form if your district or CSI charter school is eligible for a waiver. CDE will verify and provide a waiver upon determination of eligibility.
