Other Information

The Superintendent certificate is issued by the state upon recommendation from the program.

GoLead11 does not offer an advisory opinion on one’s criminal history; however, under recent legislation (HB963-Guillen) SBEC is required to issue, upon request, a criminal history evaluation letter to persons contemplating entering a profession requiring a license. This will help individuals to determine if they would likely be denied a license/certification because of the criminal histories.
