SO I am feeling much better.

I got notification today that my certificate is not being renewed. Apparently I didn't submit the paperwork correctly or timely. The website mentions lapse in certification, but this usually refers to educators not acquiring the credits during the period of certification. I had done this, but didn't send in the request for renewal due to stress, job situation, and other worries, such as my health. This is the district being difficult also. I really should have submitted the paperwork before the last day of employment, but it required my bosses signature and I did not trust him to submit it. I didn't want to lose my original copies of coursework completion. Supposedly the Continuing Education Program sponsored by the district does not keep copies, yet I know that is not true.

I left messages the the state dept of education, the district re-certification specialist, and the NEA advocate. I'm keeping positive thoughts.

Please send positive thoughts for this for me.

I have other things to relate, but I'll tell you later. Jane is demanding my attention right now.
