Navigating Your Statement of Eligibility

 

Navigating an SOE

Based on documentation submitted to FDOE at the time you applied for your certificate, FDOE has issued you a Statement of Status of Eligibility (SOE).  It is your responsibility to read, understand, and complete the requirements listed on your SOE in order to be eligible for a 5-year professional certificate.

  

Completion of the PEC program satisfies only one requirement of your SOE.

 

Read your SOE carefully to determine the requirements that you must complete prior to the expiration date of your temporary certificate.

 

If you have questions about your SOE, contact Jennifer Ricardo at certification@leonschools.net.
