Licensure Exceptions

In May of 2025, the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) implemented changes to the teacher and administrator licensure process in accordance with Act 304, passed during the 2025 legislative session.

Teachers asked to serve in administrative roles must apply for a Teacher Licensure Plan (TLP) using the “District Application” for TLP (see link below). Please note that this new process completely replaces the former Administrator Licensure Completion Plan (ALCP) process.
