I work in educator certification for my public school. Do I qualify for the educator tax credit?

I work in the office managing teacher credentials, assigning teachers, etc.

You're an eligible educator if, for the tax year you're a kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal or aide for at least 900 hours a school year in a school that provides elementary or secondary education as determined under state law.
