relative to credentials for the position of superintendent of schools.

HB 1402 establishes new certification requirements for school superintendents in New Hampshire. It mandates that candidates must have at least 3 years of K-12 administrative experience, complete a graduate-level education administration program, and demonstrate specific leadership competencies related to student success, instructional programs, and district management. The bill requires applicants to submit work records, education documentation, and references to the Bureau of Credentialing for review. This directly affects individuals seeking their first superintendent certification in New Hampshire schools.
