TEM Partial Year Exemption II
EPS is currently working to remove teachers listed on the PYE II track from the Power Bi dashboard. Due to a hire date of November 8 or later, they will receive a partial year exemption and complete only 2 observations. These individuals will not count in the benchmark completion rate.
Announced Observation Deadline
100% of announced observations must be completed by December 20.
TEAM Evaluation - PYE
The Office of Employee Performance and Support is currently working with the PLZ vendor to establish a new plan for administrators who may have a role change during the school year.
The Evaluation plan will be called TEAM PYE. The TEAM PYE plan will be assigned to administrators (principals/vice & asst. principals) who started the role on or after November 8. The requirement for PYE administrators would be 1 observation for the school year. Please note, TEAM PYE administrators will not receive an LOE.
If there are any questions, please contact EPS at 901.416.2475 or via email at eps@scsk12.org.

Teacher Tenure Announcement
Attention Fully Licensed Educators! Now that we have received LOEs from TDOE, the HR team is working to implement the Tenure process. Pursuant to § 49-1-302, teachers must meet the following criteria to be eligible for tenure (effective July 1, 2011):
- (1) Served five (5) school years or not less than forty-five (45) months within a seven-year period as a probationary teacher in Shelby County Schools; and
- (2) Received evaluations demonstrating an overall performance effectiveness level (LOE) of “above expectations” or “significantly above expectations” provided by the evaluation guidelines adopted by the state board of education pursuant to § 49-1-302, during the last two (2) years of the teacher’s probationary period.
Although HR will pull existing data to identify all teachers who meet these criteria, we are asking that any teachers who suspect that they are eligible, also complete this form as an additional layer of information. Please complete the form by TODAY! https://forms.office.com/r/DrG6Bfhz1Y
