Patten was among three administrators charged with failing to report student abuse.
Police say they knew of but failed to report to child welfare authorities, allegations that a substitute teacher in October 2017 was organizing slap boxing fights between students.
Patten pleaded not guilty and was placed on leave.
Accelerated rehabilitation is a program for non-violent, first-time offenders. If she complies with program conditions, the charge will be dismissed.

Her attorney called it "a reasonable disposition."
A judge will make a decision on Patten's application on Sept. 9.
