Can principals or other supervisors acquire tenure or permanent status?
No. Principals or other persons in primarily non-teaching supervisory positions cannot acquire tenure in those positions. However, a principal who has achieved permanent teacher status before being promoted to a principal or other administrative position retains tenure as a teacher. In addition, anyone who was ever a permanent teacher in any district can acquire permanent teacher status in another district if employed two or more years in a principal’s or other supervisory position.
