(a) If the Texas Education Agency (TEA) staff has not
received a certified educator's national criminal history record information
as required by this subchapter by the date specified in the notice
described in §232.35 of this title (relating to Submission of
Required Information), the educator's certificate shall be placed
on inactive status.
(b) For good cause shown, the date on which a certified
educator's certificate becomes inactive may be extended one time for
a period not to exceed ten calendar days. Such an extension may only
be granted by a person designated for this purpose by the TEA, and
the decision to grant or deny a request for extension shall be within
the designee's sole discretion.
(c) An educator whose certificate is in inactive status
is ineligible for employment in a Texas public school in a position
that requires educator certification, pursuant to the Texas Education
Code, §21.003(a) and §22.0831(d).
(d) An educator's certificate shall be removed from
inactive status and reactivated when the TEA staff receives a certified
educator's national criminal history record information as required
by this subchapter.
