Non-certified Administrators (CEOs & Building Managers)

Senate Bill 173 clarified the alternative certification requirements for the current non-certified CEOs and building managers.  The intent of the legislation was to require that all administrators be properly certified by July 1, 2008.  Pursuant to the amendment to 13-42-28, Secretary Melmer appointed a six member advisory council.  This council met August 3, 2004 and formulated the rules specific to this provision.

One of the three following alternatives must be selected and all non-certified administrators must submit the required “Plan of Intent” to the Department of Education for approval by July 1, 2005:

• The Professional Development Plan Alternative

• The Testing Alternative

• The Waiver Alternative

Then a “Plan of Intent,” outlining your objective for obtaining certification, must be completed and submitted to the Department of Education prior to July 1, 2005.
