Three Important Things to Remember about Kansas Licensure

1. All certified employees must have a current Kansas license in the content area/grade level they are employed.
   • A Kansas educator cannot legally be paid unless the educator holds a license which is valid in the state of Kansas for the particular kind of work to be performed. (K.S.A. 72-1390)
2. All certified employees must submit the original Employer's Copy of his/her Kansas license to the Human Resource Department upon employment.
3. Kansas licenses are a function of the Kansas State Department of Education located in Topeka, Kansas; not a function of Derby Public Schools.  It is the responsibility of the employee to obtain and maintain a Kansas license.
