REQUESTS FOR TYPE III EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATIONS July 2002 Colorado Law 22-60.5-111 authorizes school districts to employ a person to teach or to perform services as a principal, administrator, or special services provider, at a particular grade level or in a special subject or service area when, in the judgment of the State Board of Education, an emergency exists due to a demonstrated shortage of licensed teachers, principals, administrators, or special services providers, whichever is appropriate, with appropriate endorsements and such action is essential to the preservation of good instructional programs in the public schools and to the educational well-being of the children enrolled therein. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (c), a Type III Emergency Authorization shall be valid for a period of one school year and may be renewed. A Type III Emergency Authorization for a person to teach shall not be renewed unless the State Board of education determines that the establishment of an Alternative Teacher Program by the Board of Education is not a practical solution to such demonstrated shortage.
