Bill Summary

This bill relates to administrator licenses granted by the board of educational examiners (BOEE). The bill requires an individual who is applying for an initial administrator license to have been a teacher in this state for at least five consecutive years prior to the date of application, and to have taught at no more than two school districts in this state during that five-year period, in order to be eligible to attain the initial administrator license. This provision applies to applications for an initial administrator license that are submitted to the BOEE on or after the effective date of the bill. The bill requires that an administrator with an initial administrator license or a professional administrator license maintain the individual’s teacher license as a condition of maintaining the initial administrator license or professional administrator license. This provision applies to initial administrator licenses and professional administrator licenses that are granted by the BOEE on or after the effective date of the bill.

AI Summary

This bill requires individuals seeking an initial administrator license, which is a credential allowing someone to hold an administrative position in a school, to have at least five consecutive years of teaching experience in Iowa, with no more than two school districts during that time, before they can be eligible for this license. Furthermore, it mandates that anyone holding an initial administrator license or a professional administrator license must maintain their active teacher license as a condition for keeping their administrative credential. These new requirements will apply to applications for initial administrator licenses and to any administrator licenses granted on or after the bill becomes law.
