Summary

AB 1009 amends the Education Code so that a valid California license to practice occupational therapy or physical therapy can count toward the preliminary administrative services credential. It also increases the required experience from three to five years, allowing school‑based OT/PT work to satisfy part of that requirement, and lets districts waive up to two years of experience under certain conditions. The changes affect teachers, administrators, and health‑service staff seeking administrative roles in K‑12 schools.
