Tarkington ISD unveils 'Grow Your Own' pathway with Gracelyn University; employee handbook to be updated
Summary
Human Resources presented a new paraprofessional-to-teacher pathway through Gracelyn University and noted the employee handbook will continue to be revised as TASB updates arrive.
Human Resources Director Celeste Bradberry told the board that Tarkington ISD will offer a new 'Grow Your Own' pathway in partnership with Gracelyn University to provide paraprofessionals access to accredited bachelor’s and master’s programs that support teacher certification. Bradberry described the program as a recruitment and retention pathway designed to support staff seeking certification.
Bradberry also reviewed proposed revisions to the employee handbook, describing it as a live document subject to further changes, particularly in response to forthcoming TASB Policy Update 126. The board did not take final action on handbook revisions at this meeting; staff indicated further edits are expected.
