SpEd Credential Pathway – 2025

Interested in adding a free Special Education credential?
As part of our agreement with the District on a Supplemental Early Retirement Plan (SERP) in 2024-25, the District has agreed to pay for SDEA members to add a Special Education credential in exchange for working in a Special Education vacancy. For those who have already enrolled in a program or who are interested in participating, make sure to fill out the District’s interest form by June 30, 2025 to reserve your spot.
