Resolution CBEST Waiver 2017 - 2018.pdf
 
Summary:
Variable term waivers provide applicants with additional time to complete certain requirements for the credential that authorizes the service. The waiver request is made when there is not properly credentialed person available for the position.

WHEREAS, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing authorizes the issuance of a Variable Term Waiver for CBEST for 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permits to those individuals who have a Bachelor’s Degree but not have taken and passed CBEST.

THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Governing Board of Mt. Diablo Unified School District declares that the district has been unable to recruit enough day-to-day substitute teachers who have had an opportunity to take and pass the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST). The district anticipates employing 150 day-to-day substitutes on variable term CBEST waivers for the 2017 - 2018 school year.
