The New York State Education Department recently approved a new certificate program for the Educational Leadership and Supervision Department. The School District Business Leader (SDBL) certificate program is set to launch in fall 2021.
It is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills essential for success in district-wide business leadership positions such as directors or assistant superintendents. This 23-credit program includes an 8-credit internship experience based in a district’s business office.
