An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in certification of teachers, providing for career and technical administrative director certification flexibility.

HB 1536 modifies Pennsylvania's Public School Code to create new certification flexibility for career and technical education (CTE) administrators. It allows educators with a superintendent's letter of eligibility to become CTE directors if they have at least three years of relevant experience in CTE schools or districts and complete approved graduate-level training in CTE administration. The bill specifically prohibits the Department of Education from requiring a minimum time or percentage of duties dedicated to CTE supervision. This directly affects school districts seeking to hire CTE directors who may not hold traditional administrative certifications, streamlining their path to leadership roles in CTE programs.
