Hiring a Community Education Director
Who is required to have a licensed Community Ed. Director on staff?
Subd. 3.Community education director.
(a) Except as provided under paragraphs (b) and (c), each board shall employ a licensed community education director. The board shall submit the name of the person who is serving as director of community education under this section on the district’s annual community education report to the commissioner.
(b) A board may apply to the Minnesota Board of School Administrators under Minnesota Rules, part 3512.0505, subpart 9, for authority to use an individual who is not licensed as a community education director.
(c) A board of a district with a total population of 6,000 or less may identify an employee who holds a valid superintendent license under Minnesota Rules, chapter 3512, to serve as director of community education. To be eligible for an exception under this paragraph, the board shall certify in writing to the commissioner that the district has not placed a licensed director of community education on unrequested leave. A principal serving as a community education director under this paragraph on June 1, 2011, may continue to serve in that capacity.
Getting Your Community Ed. Directors License
Getting a Community Education Directors license not only opens up options for advancing your career in Community Education but the process of being connected to a group of students who are pursuing similar licenses (Principals, Special Education Directors and Superintendents) creates connections to opportunities that may have not otherwise been known. Education is something that no one can ever take away and the professional growth that happens as a result of each journey will only better prepare you for ANY opportunity that lies ahead.
