Review of Florida Department of Educatio...

My wife placed her certification application mid-y...

My wife placed her certification application mid-year and it is now December and we have yet to hear from the department with either an update on the certification or an accurate time frame to how long the process will continue to take. I call multiple times throughout the month, and continue to receive the same information. The state updated their system, in order to fast track the processing time, but now it seems like everyone is learning how to use the system and they are dealing with glitch in this new system. It will be helpful, if they provided the applicants with a time frame instead of we don t know how long this is going to take. Also, if you apply for a position and don t have the credentials (certification) you can ask the District to reach joy the Department of Education so that they can push you to the top of the cue. My question is, how likely is the District going to go above and beyond for you. Unless you personally know someone in the District, I believe you are out of luck! We need to realize, that this is a investment in our kids. The longer we take processing applications application, the longer kids go with out proper education, counseling, etc. I would like to be called personally from someone in the board. Thank you.
