The Bailey Times
December 9, 2019
We have two weeks of school left! Let's make sure that we make it the best we can for our students! This can be a very hard time for some of our parents, so just be aware that for some, the holidays are not a fun time. Many times the anxiety and sadness of the parent or parents rubs off on the child and you might see behaviors that are out of character. The best way to make these last two weeks enjoyable for everyone is to remember to be kind and think first before speaking!
- Tenure Application – Any non-tenured, certificated Collierville Schools employee who believes that she/he is now eligible for granting of tenure must complete the attached Application for Tenure Review and submit it to her/his building principal by Wednesday, December 18th. Applications will be reviewed, and eligible employees will receive an invitation after the winter break to a Board Meeting and reception in their honor to be held on Tuesday, January 28, 2020. Remember that to be eligible for tenure, an employee must:
- Hold a valid TN teacher license;
- Have served 5 years in a regular teaching position within the past 7 years;
- Have achieved an overall effectiveness rating of 4 or 5 for the past two years; and
- Be recommended for continued employment in the district.
