Deadline
for certified administrators one year away
By July 1, 2008, all school administrators
in South Dakota must be properly certified by the South Dakota
Department of Education. The requirement stems back to
legislation passed in 2004.
By now, any non-certified administrators
should be on a plan to become certified. Certification can be
achieved by completing an approved school administrator program
by the 2008 deadline. If an individual needs additional years to
complete this program, he or she can opt to take the Praxis test
“Educational Leadership: Administration & Supervision.” By
passing this test, the individual gains two years (July 2010) to
complete the school administrator program. The individual also
may continue to serve in their current capacity until
July 2010.
Individuals who plan to resign or retire by
July 2008 have the option of signing a waiver, noting their
intent.
