This program targets educators aiming for leadership roles in public school district business operations (including deputy, associate, or assistant superintendents for business, as well as other professionals overseeing school district finances). It provides two pathways: a 38-credit track for those without prior administrative certification, and a condensed 15-credit option for certified school district leaders. Successful completion leads to New York State's School District Business Leader (SDBL) certification. The curriculum develops adaptable, forward-thinking leaders equipped to establish and maintain financial and operational systems that improve educational quality for every student.
