Bill summary

Amends GS 115C-296(a2) to direct the State Board of Education (SBOE) to adopt (rather than impose) fees for teacher certification and administrative changes according to the detailed schedule. Adds fees for in-state certificate review and verification of NC certificate for another state, and increases other existing fees by various amounts. Adds that the fee is nonrefundable. Directs the SBOE to implement an online licensure management system to allow electronic submission of teacher certification and administrative change applications, and instructs the SBOE to adopt lower fees for online applications if the Department of Public Instruction can process those applications at a lower cost. Effective July 1, 2011.
