Educator Licensure
The Regional Office of Education #26 serves area teachers and administrators with all aspects of their licensure needs. Our office provides assistance with license applications, renewals/registrations, adding endorsements and improvements on existing licenses, and utilizing the Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS).
NOTE: When entering professional development into your ELIS account, it is best to use Firefox or Microsoft Edge. The system does not work with Google Chrome.
