"Bonini's 'certificate of eligibility' is valid, but it is not the same as holding a valid credential. She can only obtain the proper credential after securing a job as an administrator."
"Hector Camacho holds a 'valid' preliminary administrative services credential, which allows him to hold the county school superintendent's job, should he be elected."
"The Teacher Credentialing Commission uses very specific terminology, and while 'valid' appears next to each candidate's name, they do not have the same certification."
"An analogy to understand the difference is that a DMV license for automobiles is different from a commercial driver's license (CDL) necessary to drive a big-rig truck."
Chelsea Bonini, a second-grade teacher, is running for San Mateo County superintendent of education but lacks the necessary administrative credential. She holds a 'certificate of eligibility,' which means she has completed the credentialing program but cannot obtain the proper credential until she secures an administrative position. In contrast, her opponent Hector Camacho possesses a valid preliminary administrative services credential, allowing him to run for the position. The Teacher Credentialing Commission's terminology differentiates between eligibility and valid credentials, impacting Bonini's candidacy.
