Sept. 1 KPA deadline: Apply for professional license now

As of September 1, 2006, the passing score for the Kansas Performance Assessment (KPA) is 88/113. 

That means each person who submitted a KPA during the no-fault period MUST apply for the Professional License prior to September 1, 2006 or they will have to meet the passing score, even if they submitted during the no-fault period.

The KPA is the primary requirement for upgrading a Conditional License to the Professional License, which is renewable and valid for 5 years.

The Kansas State Department of Education staff indicated that all those who submitted KPAs during the no-fault period have received, or will receive by early August, letters notifying them of their eligibility for the Professional License.  They will also receive a letter informing them of the September 1, 2006 effective date of the passing score and emphasizing the consequences of submitting the Professional License application on or after that date.

Even though most Conditional License holders have time remaining on their Conditional Licenses (they are valid for two years), they should apply for the Professional License prior to September 1, 2006.  The Professional License costs $36.00.

At its last meeting, the State Board set the passing score as recommended by the Professional Standards Board.
