What’s in it

This bill relates to administrator licenses granted by the board of educational examiners (BOEE). The bill requires an individual who is applying for an initial administrator license to have been a teacher in this state for at least five consecutive years prior to the date of application, and to have taught at no more than two school districts in this state during that five-year period, in order to be eligible to attain the initial administrator license. This provision applies to applications for an initial administrator license that are submitted to the BOEE on or after the effective date of the bill.
