More on certifications...

...over at Daily Worcesteria

This is less about who has what now, as we knew that.
This is about who had what ever, which appears to be under dispute. Participating "in all requirements for Principal, Supervisor and Superintendents," as Worcesteria has it, is not the same as being certified. You have to fill out forms, get signatures, and get a piece of paper back from the Department of Education in order to be certified. Meeting the requirements to be certified isn't the same.

We appear to be having a bit of a problem over at the Admin Building with certification. It isn't optional. It isn't something one gets to decide one has. It is a state requirement and it is decided on by the state.

And, incidentally, while we may require that our administrators be certified or certifiable, we don't require that of our teachers.
