§ 22-60.5-104. Applicants for initial licensure - statement of completion of approved program of preparation.
(1) Each applicant for any initial license issued pursuant to the provisions of this article may be required to submit a statement from the designated recommending official of the accepted institution of higher education. Such statement shall certify that the applicant has completed the approved program of preparation appropriate to the initial license being applied for in a satisfactory manner and is in good standing. Such statement shall not be required for the renewal of such license.
(2) If an applicant for an initial principal license or an initial administrator license is required to submit a statement from the designated recommending official of an accepted institution of higher education pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, he shall be provided with an opportunity to submit statements from two or more such designated recommending officials at different accepted institutions of higher education, each of which statements certifies partial completion of an approved program of preparation appropriate to the initial license being applied for in a satisfactory manner. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the state board of education, the department of education shall provide a procedure through which such statements of partial completion of an approved program may be combined to certify regular completion of an approved program of preparation. The combination of such statements shall result in a combined approved program of preparation when it is, in the judgment of the department of education, at least the equivalent of the regular approved program of preparation at any one of the accepted institutions of higher education of attendance. Any reference in this article to completion of an approved program shall be deemed to include reference to partial completion of two or more approved programs combined pursuant to this subsection (2).
