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 who do not hold the necessary administrator certificates 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.

The bill outlines specific qualifications for both school principal and superintendent roles, including the requirement for three consecutive years of apprenticeship to be eligible for certification equivalent to that of fully certified individuals. Additionally, those who complete the program and earn their administrator certificate will be subject to ongoing review. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
