School principals and program administrators will be able to earn their state certification through an online program starting this fall.
The program is being offered by City University of Seattle. It's especially designed for school leaders who want to earn their certification but can't attend in-person classes because they live in rural areas that are far from colleges or have other conflicts.
The program addresses national standards established by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium, according to a university news release.
