I contacted PESG—the staffing-type company, that I have to go through in order to be a substitute teacher in the schools and districts near me. I advised them that in Sept of 2012... my college accreditation was accepted by the CHEA... Council of Higher Education (CHEA.org) and that the MCSC, The Michigan Civil Service Commission (which substitute teaching falls under as their Class 924 Item 75) claims to accept the validation of colleges other than just regional, that do in fact pass the standards required for Civil Service jobs.
PESG got back to me and said that they can't go by anything other than the manual given to them by the State... which is obviously lacking the new information.
This is what PESG's manual says ;
Substitute Permit
Requires the completion of 90 semester hours of satisfactory (minimum 2.0 grade point average) credit consolidated at one four-year regionally accredited college and university.
Applications for permits can only be completed and submitted via the MOECS by local and intermediate school districts, public school academies, and private schools. Individuals who meet the minimum requirements and wish to substitute teach should contact the district/school where they are interested in substitute teaching.
The substitute permit is valid for teaching in day-to-day substitute teaching assignments during the school year. This permit is not valid for any regular or extended assignment. (more than 90 calendar days). The substitute permit expires on August 31st of the given school year. The district/school may renew the permit each school year.
So it seems that PESG aquires a permit for me, and their information is not up to date in this manual that they are given.
So it looks like my next stop is finding out why the MOECS will not get back to me.
Mrs. Peabody will NOT give up!!!
