School business officials who have appropriate experience, who receive satisfactory recommendations, and who complete the required course work are eligible for certification. It is hoped that such documented participation in this program will be recognized throughout the state by superintendents and boards as important factors in assessing the professional growth and worthiness of individuals in key business positions in Arkansas schools.
Certification is provided for a period of three years.
Course Requirements Initial Certification. Five additional courses must be taken as elected. These may be duplicates of upper level courses taken during the initial certification period or previous renewal certification periods.
