Carolina Board of Examiners for NOTICE TO ALL LICENSEES: Technical problems will not constitute a defense for failure to maintain adequate records.
Announcement for All Licensees: CEUs
At the November 4, 2011 meeting of the Board of Examiners, it approved for the Board to underwrite the fee that ASHA charges NCSHLA that enables them to offer ASHA CEUs. The Board will also begin sponsoring a speaker at NCSHLA Conferences. This speaker will address Ethics every other year.
RECENT DPI POLICY CHANGE
At the February 2, 2011 meeting of the N.C. State Board of Education, the following policy change was approved:
Effective July 1, 2011, the State Department of Public Instruction will recognize the N.C. Board of Examiners license as the qualifying credential required for service as a new Speech and Language Pathologist in the N.C. Public Schools.
Those individuals already possessing a Professional Educators’ license issued by DPI as Speech and Language Pathologists prior to July 1, 2011 would be grandfathered for public school employment and would not be impacted by this change in policy.
