Tenure

At the William Penn School District, tenure is recognized twice annually and awarded during the October and June Board Meetings. Tenure is awarded when the following conditions are met:

  • Three years of continuous service in one institution (i.e. district)
  • Satisfactory rating during the last four months prior to obtaining tenure
  • Can be granted to full-time or part-time employees
  • Worked the entire duration of the three year period
  • Substitute teaching of any form does not count

When those qualifiers are met, tenure is granted and the employee receives a “Professional Contract” to replace the “Temporary Professional Contract.” Once tenure is achieved, it is transferable to any Pennsylvania school/district. Tenure grants greater protections from termination and layoff and also impacts the evaluation cycle.
