This document describes the legal requirements for certificate suspension and revocation of North Carolina public-school teachers. Associated with its ability to administer teacher certification in the state, the State Board of Education also has the authority to suspend or revoke certificates. A question-and-answer section addresses issues of concern to school officials involved in the process. The appendix contains state laws relating to certificate suspension and revocation, specifically: the powers and duties of the Board generally; removal for cause; the duties of the superintendent, principal, and teachers, and penalties for making false reports or records.
