Bill > HB1403

This bill establishes comprehensive credentials and requirements for school business administrators in New Hampshire, detailing specific qualifications, knowledge areas, and professional competencies needed for certification. To be certified, an individual must either complete a state board of education-approved business administration program at the bachelor's or master's level, or have a business degree and demonstrate equivalent competencies through professional experience. The bill outlines eight detailed skill areas that candidates must master: educational organization, financial resource management, human resource management, facility and property management, information management, risk management, pupil transportation, and food service. Each area requires specific knowledge and abilities, such as understanding legal frameworks, managing budgets, administering personnel policies, overseeing facilities maintenance, and implementing technology systems. Candidates must also submit an application with work records, education documentation, and confidential references. The bill mandates that the commissioner of education will develop specific administrative rules for certification, and the new requirements will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, ensuring a comprehensive and professional approach to managing school business operations.
