on the date which the person began work in the position requiring certification
and remains effective until August 31 of the third year following issuance. All
subsequent certificates shall take effect on September 1 of the year granted and
remain effective through August 31 of the year of expiration."
Districts hire staff subject to certification at various times during the year. It is necessary for the
system to operate with a single expiration date.
