From Triz in HR: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principals & Supervisors \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Here at BLS we aspire to place the best teachers possible in front of students, and as such we want to be very deliberate in renewing third-year Probationary\/Temporary status teachers.  The primary means for removing underperforming Probationary\/Temporary staff members before they reach Contract status is non-renewal of their contracts prior to the end of the third year of probation; once a teacher attains Contact status, separation of a deficient performer from the district becomes a much more labor-intensive process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per the 25-26 Full Evaluation Resource Guide sent out with your Evaluation Google file this fall (see deadlines below), HR Leadership had requested that you notify us by November 1st regarding any third-year Probationary\/Temporary certified staff with whom you had concerns and that no later than December 5, 2025, you would have met with and notified an third-year staff member of concern that they were being placed on Support Strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
