Board grants tenure to high school math teacher Alyssa Seligman
Summary
The Board of Education approved tenure for math teacher Alyssa Seligman after a three-year probationary appointment; the motion passed by voice vote and the board congratulated her at the meeting.
Jenny, a district staff member, presented a recommendation for tenure and recommended that the board approve tenure for Alyssa Seligman, a high school math teacher who completed a three-year probationary appointment. "Alyssa has completed a 3 year probationary appointment in the 10 year area of secondary mathematics," Jenny said, and noted Alyssa had been hired in October 2022.
Board member Gust moved to approve tenure and Naomi seconded the motion. "All in favor? Awesome," the meeting record shows, and the motion passed. Trustees offered congratulations to Alyssa and to her family during the meeting.
Why it matters: tenure decisions affect teacher employment status and are part of routine personnel actions at the start of the school year. Board members noted the challenge of recruiting and retaining math teachers; a trustee observed, "math teachers are hard to come by," in the discussion leading to the vote. The tenure approval will be recorded in personnel minutes and the personnel files as required by district policy.
