INTRODUCTION
""
   
  The Vermont Standards Board for Professional Educators (VSBPE) has established 68 local standards boards (LSBs) and six regional standards boards (RSBs) throughout the state. Within guidelines established by the VSBPE, the LSBs are responsible for assisting teachers through the process of renewing their licenses and the RSBs are responsible for assisting administrators. LSBs and RSBs recommend educators to the Licensing Office for license renewal once the educator has successfully completed all requirements.
