Beginning July 1, 2023, House Bill 1426 issued new certificate renewal requirements; in addition to current renewal requirements for all teachers, CTE teachers, and all administrators, and CTE director certificate holders.
If an agency is on the approved clock hour provider list, the clock hours are not eligible unless there is acceptable documentation WAC 181-85-107, WAC 181-85-106.
These are the only acceptable forms of documentation for approved clock hours:
For Clock Hours Providers only. Available upon request (Form SPI 1125*) Update: Beginning October 1, 2021, the Section IV signature block on clock hour form SPI 1125 is no longer required in alignment with the repeal of WAC 392-121-280(3). Signature of participant is required on SPI 1125 form, for document to be official.
*The Form SPI 1125 is a three-part (Section I, II, III) form with an affidavit signed by the participant. It is given only to the approved clock hour provider for distribution and is not available via our website. The approved clock hour provider may remove the SPI logo and place their own logo on the top of the form. Providers are also able to add additional sections/requests for information to the form. However, changes in the overall look of the form should not be made to the three sections of the form so that it may be recognized by participants and employers.
