Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
A candidate may obtain a certificate for administrative
						and supervisory service upon evidence that the requirements of this section
						have been met.
(a) School district
					 administrator (superintendent of schools, district superintendent, deputy
					 superintendent, associate superintendent, assistant superintendent and any
					 other person having responsibilities involving general district-wide
					 administration excepting those responsibilities defined in subdivision [c] of
					 this section, shall hold this certificate).
(1) Preparation. The candidate shall hold a
					 baccalaureate degree, based upon a four-year program of collegiate preparation,
					 from a regionally accredited higher institution or from an institution approved
					 or registered by the department, and shall have completed in addition 60
					 semester hours of graduate study and an approved administrative/supervisory
					 internship under the supervision of a practicing school administrator and of a
					 representative of the sponsoring institution of higher education. Within the
					 total program of preparation, the candidate shall have been awarded a master's
					 degree. These 60 semester hours shall include 24 semester hours of graduate
					 study in the field of school administration and supervision. An internship
					 experience carrying graduate credit may be included within the 60-semester-hour
					 program. One year of satisfactory full-time experience in a school
					 administrative or supervisory position may be substituted for the
					 internship.
(2) Experience. Three
					 years of teaching and/or administrative and/or supervisory and/or pupil
					 personnel service experience in the schools (N-12).
(3) Exception to stated preparation. The
					 Commissioner of Education, at the request of a board of education or board of
					 cooperative educational services, may provide for the issuance of a certificate
					 as school district administrator (superintendent of schools) to exceptionally
					 qualified persons who do not meet all of the graduate course or school teaching
					 requirements in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subdivision, but whose
					 exceptional training and experience are the substantial equivalent of such
					 requirements and qualify such persons for the duties of a superintendent of
					 schools. Prior to the appointment of any such individual, the board must obtain
					 the approval of the commissioner. In its formal request to the department the
					 board must submit its resolution noting approval of the request, the job
					 description, its rationale for requesting such certification of the individual,
					 a statement identifying the exceptional qualifications of the candidate, the
					 individual's completed application for certification, vitae and official
					 transcripts of collegiate study. The certificate, if issued, will be valid only
					 for service in the district making the request. The commissioner will refer the
					 materials submitted by the board to a screening panel consisting of
					 representatives of the department and appropriate educational organizations for
					 review and advice.
(4) The
					 permanent certificate as a school district administrator shall qualify the
					 holder to serve as a school district administrator, school administrator and
					 supervisor, and school business administrator.
