Jane,
Thank you for your call about this important issue. Below are the questions and answers that I asked of Kathy Sullivan, Department of Public Instruction expert in certification. I'm pleased to find out that certification for this important degree is being developed. Let me know if you have any questions.

I appreciate your offer to help, but I really don't anticipate any opposition to it.
We are working with the colleges and universities to get courses lined up. I am hopeful that we will have something we can take to the State Board the first of the new year.

Thank you so much for your answer. Two questions: how long will it take to get the stand alone certification? Is there anything I can do or the teacher can do to help?

Right now NC does not have a stand alone license in computer science. Rather, it is an endorsement that needs to be added to another license area. We have already begun work to try and create a separate, stand alone license in computer science.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information
