CEU Submission Process
All 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 be uploaded to educator’s PELSB accounts in December and May.
It is up to each educator to log into their personal PELSB account to verify and track their required hours at https://mn.gov/pelsb/current-educators/renew/
For more details and directions review the Google presentation or the 2-page guide.

CEU Opportunities
Looking for CEU opportunities to meet the re-licensure requirements? Check out the offerings under the Professional Development tab of this website or visit the Trainings page of the PELSB website!
FLAS Pre-Approval Travel/Work Experience Form
Educators must request prior approval of CEUs for travel or work experiences by completing a copy of the FLAS Travel/Work Experience Pre-Approval Form and submitting it to their CEU Committee member in advance of the experience for which they are requesting the CEUs.
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
