Specific
Documentation Requirements for Interpreters with Emergency Permits
A total of 12
hours of training for each interpreter with an emergency permit must
be completed and submitted to TEA. Documentation of fall training (6
hours) must be submitted to TEA Services for the Deaf by December 15
of the school year, and spring training (6 hours) must be submitted
by May 15. Please send copies of certificates and other
documents, because they will not be returned.
Training must
be related to interpreting for persons who are deaf and must be completed
within the school year, which may include the summer, for which an uncertified
interpreter has an approved emergency permit.
For each interpreter
with an approved emergency permit, the employing district must submit
to TEA Services for the Deaf:
A completed Documentation
of Training form.
A
certificate of attendance with the name of the interpreter, the
title of the training session, the date of the training, the total
number of hours attended, the name of the presenter(s), and the
name of the sponsoring organization; or
A college/university
transcript that shows the name of the interpreter, name of the institution,
semester attended, course title and hours completed and passed.
In addition
to the above, interpreters who have a 3rd year emergency permit must
submit:
Documentation
may be submitted via fax (512/463-9560) or mail (TEA Services for the
Deaf, 1701 N. Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78701).
Failure to submit
required documentation by established deadlines may result in revocation
of the permit and could affect future emergency permits for delinquent
districts.
