LAC 28:CXXXI.701. Introduction

A. An individual must have an official license or certificate from the state to provide services to children in a Louisiana school setting. An ancillary certificate allows a qualified person who is not a certified teacher to provide such services. The holder of an ancillary certificate is authorized to perform only those services that are specifically stated on the certificate in Louisiana school systems. B. Non-practicing status for all ancillary school service certificates may be issued by the LDE in accordance with §505. C. A request for issuance or renewal of the Ancillary Service certificate must be submitted by the employing Louisiana school system. The LDOE will issue a letter of eligibility for an initial Ancillary Service certificate to qualified applicants not employed by a Louisiana school system at the time of application.
