(b) All emergency certificates shall expire on July 31 of each year regardless of issuance date.

(c) A chief school administrator, or the chief school administrator's designee, may apply to the executive county superintendent for an emergency certificate for a candidate in authorized educational services areas if the chief school administrator, or the chief school administrator's designee, can demonstrate the inability to locate a qualified candidate with the required certificate for the position due to unforeseen shortages or other extenuating circumstances.

A candidate serving under an emergency certificate shall be employed under an emergency certificate for no more than a total of three years in any one educational services endorsement area regardless of the number of school districts in which the candidate serves.
