Recent Licensure Updates - Mar2017 New requirement for teachers who have an administrative endorsement but are not currently using it *Law went into effect July 1, 2014* If you have any general administrative endorsement (supervisory endorsement, lead teacher endorsement, general admin endorsement, and principal endorsement) on your license but do not use the endorsement during the five year cycle, you will be required to complete one administrative academy course during your five year renewal cycle. This goes into effect when you have renewed your license under the new law. This currently affects only those that have renewed as of July 2014, July 2015, and July 2016. If you are up to renew in 2017 or 2018, you will have five years from that date to complete this requirement. The ROE is currently working on hosting administrative academies specifically for those teachers that would qualify. Since this will affect many teachers, we hope to offer these academies in the summer or in the evening. Remember, the earliest this should affect someone will be those renewing in July 2019.

Attention: Retired Teachers (Posted Feb2017)
Horace Mann Available to Assist with ERO Questions Active Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS) members are eligible for a refund of contributions paid into the Early Retirement Option (ERO) between 2005 and 2016. The ERO was not extended by the General Assembly and subsequently expired on July 1, 2016. TRS has begun sending notifications to members through email and mail. Horace Mann, an Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools (IARSS) business partner, has representatives across the state that can help your employees with questions related to the ERO refund. In addition, Horace Mann has extensive knowledge of teachers’ state retirement plans – expertise that helps provide teachers and school employees with a “big picture” view of not only ERO, but how all their retirement benefits could work together. For more information regarding the ERO refund process, which may be of value click here. Para Professionals(Teacher's Aid)
