Up For Tenure

Every year before April 15th, the Loudon County Board Of Education and all other school boards across the state must address the question of tenure for new teachers in their school system. Contrary to popular belief, tenure does not confer permanent job status on a teacher. It does however give a teacher more rights prior to termination.

In order to be considered for tenure, a teacher must complete a three year probationary period with the school system. The teacher than may receive a positive recommendation from their principals and others to the director of schools who in turn may recommend tenure to the board of education for a vote.

The Loudon County Board Of Education will take up the slate of teachers who have been recommended for tenure at their board meeting Thursday night. Below is the list of teachers who have been recommended for tenure this year.
