<p class="MsoNormal">I'm curious about the LIS endorsement. My licence shows K-12, and does not include PreK. Are there a special class/test to increase the range? I only ask because I do service PreK students in the Library. I've never seen it as an issue,
but other specials teachers in my school have complained about seeing PreK students because they are not certified at that grade level.<o:p></o:p></p>
