2009 - 2010 DWTA Leaders

Dover UFSD Tenure Appointments, 2009
Congratulations!

At the Tuesday, June 9th Meeting of the Dover BOE, the members
shown in the photo below were granted tenure appointments, effective this coming September 2009. The Dover BOE made a special point of explaining that tenure is not something which has ever been given by default or casually by the BOE. Each tenure decision made at Dover UFSD is always considered carefully, with a broad range of teacher evaluations performed. As NYSUT has explained,"Once granted tenure, a teacher/TA is guaranteed a system of due process, but is not guaranteed a job for life. The tenure law protects teachers/TAs from arbitrary or capricious dismissal. For example, it prevents a school district from firing a competent teacher/TA so that it can hire someone else who may have better personal or political connections. " The DWTA would like to take the time to congratulate these members for their hard work in achieving this major career landmark. We would like to offer you continued success and support for years to come.
