The level of certification recognizes the commission’s determined equivalent of an individual’s level of education. The assignment of a certification level is contingent upon: a valid certificate field being held; the degree being from a regionally accredited institution; and the degree and/or major meeting rules on acceptable credit and degrees. In some cases, the commission’s determined equivalent certification level may be equal to or less than an individual’s highest degree level. (For example: degrees with "doctoral" or "doctorate" in the degree title may result in a certification level of four, five, six, or seven. –
See PSC Rule )

28. Impact of HB455/HB923 Excerpt from Ga Code 20-2-212
“…an educator's placement on the salary schedule shall not be based on a leadership degree…in conjunction with completion of an educator leadership preparation program approved by the Professional Standards Commission, unless the educator is employed in a leadership position as defined by the State Board of Education…”
THIS YEAR: CPI Report will allow districts to identify employees reported with leadership certification for non-leadership Job Codes, but FY2013 edits will trigger errors
Leadership Certificates – FY2012, and prior, are “grandfathered”
