Great news, Scott! Congratulations!

Why wouldn't you have been, Scott? ;-) Congratulations, btw, you are starting to have that Southern dialect thing going. I can tell by your posts. How's your fried food consumption? ;-)

It is official, signed and turned in the contract for next year :)

Congratulations - I didn't realise teaching in the US was on a year by year basis.

Over here you get a teaching job and that's it until you retire or go mad.

It's usually mad...

[luvyesmusic]

Scott is buying the first round. ;-) Congrat.s, looks like you are going to grow roots there. :-)

Thanks! Until you have tenure as a teacher, it is not a given, and they don't have to give you a reason, so I am glad to be coming back for my 1st FULL year in the district.

Well, they aren't mutually exclusive! lol....Yes teachers sign a contract each year, in most states, after 2-3 years, teachers acheive tenure, which means they will be offered a contract automatically each year, unless the district can show cause not to do so, and the teacher will have the right to a hearing and "due process" to appeal the decision. Since I am new in the district, I will have to sign 2 more contracts (two full years and signed on for a third in Mississippi) to acheive "tenure" officially "fair dismissal". Before being tenured, the district can choose to not renew a teacher, and the teache has no right to due process.

Well done then ! And good luck for the future !
