The school districts may employ such persons as principals or superintendents under guidelines and criteria established by the department for a period not exceeding two years upon approval of the department and may renew their employment for additional two-year periods upon reauthorization. The district must provide the department with verification that a vice principal or assistant principal in the school where such a person shall serve is fully certified to be a principal or that an assistant superintendent of the district where such a person shall serve is fully certified to be a superintendent."
