SF 2133 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to administrator licenses granted by the board of educational examiners and including applicability provisions.

SF 2133 modifies Iowa's requirements for school administrator licenses. It requires new applicants for an initial administrator license to have taught as a teacher in Iowa for at least five consecutive years (across no more than two school districts) before applying. The bill also mandates that current administrators holding initial or professional licenses must maintain an active teacher license to keep their administrator credential. These rules apply to all new applications and licenses granted after the bill's effective date.
