Renewal Credits

Renewal Credit Guidelines for Certified Staff

Sampson County Schools is in the process of updating the system that is presently being used to track certified employees’ professional development and renewal credits. At the present time most employees are having difficulty accessing the site to “look up their CEUs” through Microsoft Edge. Until the new system is in place staff may contact Brenda Nordin, SCS director of new teacher support, who will be able to scan a copy of the individual’s CEUs. Email Brenda Nordin.

If a certified employee attends a professional development activity sponsored by Sampson County Schools he/she does not need to submit any documentation. The principal or director will submit all documentation necessary for CEUs (Continuing Education Units) to be recorded. If a sign n sheet is used participants must print their name as it appears in SCS payroll system.

If a certified employee attends a professional development activity sponsored by an outside organization he/she must submit the certificate of credit given to him/her by the sponsor to Brenda Nordin. The following information must be on the certificate:

  • Full name and base school
