Administrative Licensure Requirement
Candidates must currently hold or be eligible to obtain administrative licensure in the State of Minnesota as a condition of employment. This requirement ensures that candidates possess the necessary credentials and qualifications to effectively fulfill the responsibilities of the position and comply with state regulations.

Eligibility Considerations

Candidates may not be eligible for licensure in Minnesota if they:
● Lack the necessary educational qualifications, such as a master’s degree or higher in educational administration, leadership, or a related field.
● Have not completed a state-approved administrative licensure program or an equivalent preparation pathway.
● Do not meet Minnesota’s required years of teaching or educational leadership experience.
● Have unresolved licensure issues in another state, including disciplinary actions, suspensions, or revocations.
● Are unable to pass required background checks or provide the documentation necessary for licensure application.
● Are unable to qualify for Minnesota administrative licensure through either standard licensure review or the provisional licensure pathway available to some out-of-state prepared candidates.

Applicants are encouraged to review their licensure status in advance. Qualified out-of-state candidates may be eligible for a two-year nonrenewable provisional license in Minnesota while completing any remaining state-specific requirements through a BOSA-approved program. Applicants are encouraged to review their eligibility status or contact the Minnesota Board of School Administrators (BOSA) for guidance before applying.
