$20 Fee |
If you are employed by a Georgia public school
system, you may avoid the $20 fee with an
Employers Assurance Form from your system's certification
official. If you are not employed by a Georgia school
system, the fee will be required.
The fee will also be required if you have not passed the required subject area content test in
the field to be added, regardless of your employment status. Fees are payable
by money order or cashier's check made payable to the State of Georgia, or by
online fee payment at www.TeachGeorgia.org. If you submit a money
order or cashier's check, please write your social security number on the submitted
fee document.
