YCSD Celebrates Its Tenure Recipients

Let's have a round of applause for our amazing tenure recipients!

We are excited to announce that 37 of our exceptional educators and administrators were granted tenure the May 12 Board of Education meeting. These dedicated individuals have demonstrated unwavering commitment to their profession and actively integrated themselves into the school community.

The District’s tenure process involves a rigorous probationary period, during which candidates undergo a dozen formal observations and numerous informal check-ins. However, the impact of these educators extends far beyond the classroom. They have become beloved members of our school community, eagerly assuming roles that go beyond their initial responsibilities.

Please join us in congratulating the following educators:
