CEU Submission Process
All Licensed Staff & Community Members/Non-District Licensed Educators seeking renewal through ISD 831:
All educators will submit their clock hours via the FLAS Online CEU Submission form (flaschools.org/submitCEUs).
Deadlines for uploads:
December 8th, 2024 & May 11th, 2025
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.
Please note, district's must approve and upload all hours to PELSB prior to June 30th. FLAS uploads twice a year as noted above (May & December). If your license renewal is set for 2024, all CEU hours must be submitted to FLAS by May 10th, 2024 for upload. Hours submitted after May 10th will not be reflected in PELSB until FLAS' December 2024 upload.
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/

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
