Important Notes from the LPDC

The Avon Local LPDC will meet monthly throughout the school year beginning in September. 

The Office of Educator Licensure and Effectiveness at the State Board of Education uses the following formulas for converting contact hours to CEUs and semester hours:

10 contact hours = 1 CEU

30 contact hours = 1 semester hour

3 CEUs = 1 semester hour

Please note that the Office of Educator Licensure and Effectiveness accepts coursework listed in semester hours on official college or university transcripts as follows: one semester hour = one semester hour. Additionally, three quarter hours of coursework on an official college or university transcript traditionally equates to two semester hours.

OTHER NOTES:

****The Avon LPDC will NOT approve full credit courses from Idaho State per the DEW (ODE). Effective October 10, 2025, for any individual who is not already actively enrolled in coursework at the Albion Center, the State Board of Education will not accept coursework obtained through the Albion Center at Idaho State University.

*****New Law for School Counselors  as of 7/1/25 School Counselors who work with students in grades 7-12 are required to have four hours of required training with the construction trades every five years to renew their license.   Counselors will need to take these required courses with ACT Ohio.   It is the responsibility of the Counselor to take these required courses.  The Avon LPDC will track these courses within your LPDC folder and pre/post approval process.
