Summary
Board approved tenure for a slate of certificated personnel for the 2024–25 school year, listing each teacher included in the motion and adopting the personnel office recommendation.
The Hawkins County Board of Education granted tenure to a group of certificated employees during the May 1, 2025 meeting after a board motion and roll call vote.
The director of schools recommended approval of tenure for the listed candidates, noting the personnel office and principals had certified that the candidates met criteria for tenure. The board then approved the recommendation by voice vote; the transcript records the board saying “Aye” with no opposition.
