Cannon County board reviews renewal of partnership with educator-preparation program
Summary
Board discussed renewing a memorandum of understanding with an out-of-state educator-preparation program that state officials recognize and said the program is a lower-cost pathway for teachers on permits; staff requested authority to sign the MOU.
At its Jan. 9 workshop the Cannon County Board of Education reviewed and sought approval to renew a partnership agreement (an MOU) with an educator-preparation program (EPP) that assists with teacher certification.
A staff member said the EPP is an out-of-state program "much cheaper for our teachers on permits to go this route" and that the State of Tennessee recognizes the program. Because the agreement is an MOU, the staff member asked the board to authorize the superintendent or designee to sign the renewal.
The staff presentation described the EPP as one of the district's certification partners and said periodic recertification is required. No specific fiscal impact or contract term was recorded in the provided transcript segments; staff indicated the program has been used previously by district teachers.
No roll-call vote appears in the provided transcript for this item; staff requested approval to sign the MOU and the board discussed the item briefly.
Next steps: staff requested board authorization to sign the renewal and said they would proceed with the out-of-state EPP that is recognized by the state.
