Directors' Course Agenda

Directors' Course Spring 2008 Agenda - Albany, New York

March 25, 26, and 27, 2008

The final agenda for the Spring 2008 offering of the Directors' Course is currently under construction. The course is required for directors with permits in order to upgrade those permits to full director licenses. The program must be completed within one year of the effective date of the director's permit.

Note: All 3 days of the course are required to be completed in order to meet the requirements for permit upgrade.

The course is by invitation only. Any individual who is not sure whether (s)he has been invited should contact the office at bpss@mail.nysed.gov. All invitees must confirm their intention and commitment to attend the course by regular mail or email as will be explained in the invitation. Only when that is done, will a place be reserved in the course for the director and the reservation noted on our web page to confirm that the reservation has been made. Invitations will be mailed in February 2008. Please do not contact the office prior to February.
