Who the documents cover
The linked requirements cover June 30, 2024 or earlier
Each linked reinstatement document applies to certificates expired June 30, 2024 or earlier. TeachPassport can show those published requirements. A 2025 or 2026 expiration still needs ALSDE confirmation.
Expired in 2025 or 2026
Do not borrow the older 24-month totals. Use the current agency page or ACE account until ALSDE publishes or confirms the current requirement.
