Registration in the larger statewide VQB5 initiative is a requirement to be considered for eligibility in RecognizeB5. If you did not complete registration in LinkB5 by the Fall Registration deadline of 10/1/24, unfortunately, you will not be considered for participation in RecognizeB5 during the July 2024-June 2025 year.
In rare cases of extreme hardship, technical error, or omission, the VDOE will consider
individual requests for exceptions to the educator profile registration deadline for the purposes
of RecognizeB5. In these cases, the Primary Site Administrator must submit a formal request for
an exception to VDOE by December 1, 2024, that indicates that a teacher was unable to meet
the October 1 deadline due to no fault of their own.
Requests must be submitted to VDOE no later than December 1, 2024. Requests or
documentation received after December 1, 2024, will not be considered. Approval of a request DOES NOT guarantee participation in RecognizeB5.
Instructions for Submitting a Formal Request: Access, complete, and submit the Incomplete
Educator Profile Formal Review Request Form. Full details on the Incomplete Educator Registration Profiles Formal Review Request Process for RecognizeB5 Eligibility 2024-2025 will be posted here. Questions about the review process should be sent to vqb5@doe.virginia.gov.
