This bill amends Chapter 12, Title 33 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 33-1204A, which establishes the Administrator Leadership Apprenticeship Program. This program allows individuals without an administrator certificate to qualify for school principal or superintendent positions by completing an apprenticeship. To participate, candidates must pass a criminal history check, hold a relevant degree (bachelor's for principals and master's for superintendents), demonstrate competency in specific professional backgrounds, be sponsored by a public school district or local education agency, and be enrolled in an accredited leadership program in Idaho.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals who serve as apprentices in these roles for three consecutive years may receive the same certification as their peers, provided they meet ongoing requirements. The legislation also includes a provision for ongoing review of those who complete the apprenticeship and earn their administrator certificate. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
