The WCESC serves the local school districts in processing educator licensure required by the Ohio Department of Education for teachers, pupil personnel and administrators. A database is maintained of licensed educators and their credentials as a means to assist districts in keeping their employees' licensure current. Each December reminder notices with application materials and renewal instructions are sent to these educators with a license or licenses expiring the following June.
The WCESC also serves as resource to Local Professional Development Committees as well as individual educators in finding answers to their licensure questions.
Licensure application materials may be obtained by contacting the WCESC or they are available for downloading at the O.D.E. website:
