Overview
This bill changes the requirements for obtaining an administrative services credential in California. Specifically, it limits the one-year internship required for this credential to programs offered by school districts, county offices of education, or regionally accredited colleges and universities. The Commission on Teacher Credentialing will review internship program requirements during its next consideration of administrative services credential pathways. It also incorporates changes from Assembly Bill 1009, which will only take effect if both bills are passed and AB 959 is enacted last.
