CEU SUBMISSION PROCESS


CEU Submission Links


District Licensed Staff

All educators will submit their clock hours via the FLAS Online CEU Submission form (flaschools.org/submitCEUs). The Forest Lake CEU Committee will meet two times during the school year to approve the submitted clock hours. Hours will then be uploaded to educator’s PELSB accounts in December and May.  For more details and directions review the Google presentation or the 2-page guide.


Questions about CEUs? Please contact the person assigned to your building or Kelli Frericks, committee chair.

    Friendly Reminders from the CEU Committee:

    • Login to PELSB to review your re-licensure status throughout the school year.

    • When using the Google form, enter your information accurately (file folder #, dates, mandatory requirements, etc.)

    • Submit your CEUs throughout the year, rather than waiting and submitting them all at once.

    • You do not have to submit additional hours beyond the required 125, other than those needed to meet the mandatory requirements.

    • Keep a copy of any CEUs you submit via the Google Form.

    • Keep in mind that the committee members are your colleagues and are not paid for this work...treat them kindly, and submit your CEU information in a timely manner to make their job easier!

    • In the event you make an error in your Google form submission, email your CEU committee building representative
