Requirements for tenure in the state of Tennessee are that an educator must hold a bachelor’s degree, have completed five years in Campbell County Schools and an educator has a level of overall effectiveness (LOE) of 4 or higher for the past two years. This information has been verified in TNCompass by the principal and supervisor. Teachers also have to perform at “expectation or above expectation for two consecutive years in the last two years of your five-year teaching period.

“We also recognize and grant tenure to teachers who are transferring from one school system out of county to our school system. If we get a great teacher that is tenured out of another county, we want to retain those teachers, and we are happy to have them,” Director Fields said.
