Several educators were awarded tenure during a recent Benton County Board of Education meeting. To be eligible for this, each of them has spent at least 45 months within the school system and has demonstrated an overall performance effectiveness level of either "above expectations" or "significantly above expectations" through the evaluation guidelines adopted by the state board of education according to § 49-1-302. These evaluations must have been received during the last two (2) years of the teacher's probationary period. The Board would like to congratulate each of these exceptional educators.
