Clark County School District Contact Units and Nevada Department of Education Licensure Renewal
Licensed employees in the Clark County School District (CCSD) may accrue Contact Units (CUs) for salary advancement by successfully completing courses that relate to their position or license, as determined solely by the CCSD Professional Growth System (PGS) Department, not Vegas PBS. Employees will need to score a 70% or higher on the first attempt of the final exam.
Educators holding licenses through the Nevada Department of Education (NDOE) may use the Vegas PBS Professional Development courses to satisfy requirements for license renewal. Employees will need to score a 70% or higher on the first attempt of the final exam.
The auto-generated certificates, along with the tracking document available through ed2go can be submitted to the Enterprise Learning Management System (ELMS) for CUs and to NDOE (OPAL) for license renewal. Please see below for details about obtaining your time tracking document.
For questions regarding CCSD Contact Units and/or to determine course alignment based on CCSD PGS criteria for CU accrual, please contact CCSD PGS Department at 702.799.4747 or pgs@nv.ccsd.net
For questions regarding the number of hours needed for license renewal, or guidance on appropriate courses for your license, please contact the NDOE.
Time Tracking
Beginning with the August 2020 course sessions, twenty-four hours will no longer be automatically reflected on the certificate of completion. Individuals are solely responsible for ensuring the number of hours needed toward re-licensure and CU obtainment are met.
All time within the course web environment is automatically logged and this will be the number of hours, up to a maximum of 24 hours, that will be reported. Download instructions on how to track time for course certifications (PDF).
