Appeal to Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB)
All persons denied issuance or renewal of licenses granted by the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board, and all Minnesota teacher-preparing institutions denied program or institutional approval, and all persons licensed by the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board whose appeals are denied by the local committee for continuing education/relicensures, are hereby entitled to a hearing pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 14, on such denial and to a final decision by the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board. A person or an institution entitled to a hearing under the provisions of this part shall file a written request for such hearing with the executive secretary of the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board within 30 days from the date of the denial. Failure to file a written request for a hearing within 30 days constitutes a waiver of the individual's right to a hearing.
