Re-Certification. In the event an employee is required by the State of Michigan, through its Department of Education, or is requested by the School District, to recertify an existing certificate to maintain his/her position in an assignment he/she is presently teaching, or will be teaching at the request of the School District, the District will reimburse the tuition cost for classes, approved by the Superintendent prior to course registration, by not less than 50% of said cost, (not to exceed a $700 maximum accumulation during a five (5) year recertification window). This provision includes teachers completing the last six (6) credits of the eighteen (18) required for attaining the initial continuing certificate. Also, this provision is in effect for the present State requirement only. The District may reimburse up to 100% of said cost at its own discretion.
