relative to credentials for the position of superintendent of schools and school business officer.

This bill would establish new entry-level requirements for individuals seeking certification as a school superintendent in New Hampshire. To qualify, candidates must have at least three years of experience as an education administrator, complete an approved graduate program in educational administration, and demonstrate specific competencies in areas such as vision setting, district management, and ethical leadership. The legislation outlines a formal application process requiring candidates to submit work records, education history, and confidential references to the bureau of credentialing for review. If the bureau determines that an applicant meets these criteria, they will receive initial certification allowing them to apply for employment as a superintendent.
