School District Business Leader Certificate

The ever-changing demands on our public schools require forward-thinking administrative leaders who can successfully manage vital business functions for success and sustainability. Our school district business leader program will prepare you to become a flexible, visionary, and reflective school business leader with the skills necessary to create and sustain financial and operational functions in order to help ensure the quality of learning for all students. This program is online and participants will work with a cohort of peers within a professional network.

The 24-credit School District Business Leader Certificate Program is for candidates who already hold a School District Leader (SDL) or School Building Leader (SBL) certificate and who wish to get the School District Business Leader (SDBL) certificate. It includes a 600-hour internship that takes place over four semesters in a school district business office. All courses are online. Each week there is a 1 ½ hour synchronous session.
