House Okays Bill To Allow Quicker Path To North Dakota Lifetime Teaching License

(Bismarck, ND) — The state House is advancing a measure that would lower the number of years it takes to receive a lifetime teaching license in North Dakota. The bill would drop the amount of time required from 30 to 20 years. North Dakota teaching licenses last for two-year and five-year periods. Teachers must submit six semester hours of continuing education credit to retain their licenses.
