Retired Illinois educators aren’t required to maintain their PEL, though it is recommended. Renewal is free and does not require professional development unless you return to public-school work more than 50%. If you choose to substitute teach, the PEL must be renewed every five years, or a substitute license be obtained.
Note: In your final 5-year license cycle, you are responsible for PD hours for the years you were actively teaching. Don’t throw your PD documentation away!

In addition to all of this, Chad supports our truancy department, working with families and students to remove barriers that prevent regular school attendance. He’s a humble guy, but he truly deserves recognition for his behind-the-scenes work. We want to thank Chad for everything he does… and yes, we even got him to smile!
