The Iron County School District has provided updated details regarding its educator licensure framework and the specific personnel responsible for overseeing Title IX and 504 compliance within the district.
Educator License Levels Explained
The Iron County School District maintains a multi-tiered system for educator licensure to ensure instructional quality across its schools. According to district information regarding Local Education Agency (LEA) Specific Licensure, the district employs educators who teach certain courses under specialized licenses.
The district identifies three primary levels of educator licensure. The Professional level is granted when all requirements have been met and competencies have been demonstrated by the educator. The Associate level signifies that a minimum number of requirements and/or competencies have been demonstrated.
In addition to these standard tiers, the district utilizes LEA Specific licenses. These licenses operate under the direction of the local governing boards of school districts or charters. For more specific details regarding licensure for individual schools, the district directs users to the Utah State Board of Education licensing website.
The district's policy regarding these licensure types is governed by District Policy 108, which outlines the administrative oversight for LEA Specific credentials.
