Who is eligible for the “tenure” or “permanency” bonus?
Credentialed classroom teachers who completed their second probationary year in 1999-2000 will be tenured (or permanent) when they serve the first day of the 2000-2001 year. All such employees will receive the permanency bonus of $1,000. The only exception would be a person who was a second year intern in 1999-2000 but failed to complete the internship and obtain a preliminary or clear credential. In such cases, permanency is delayed and the employee would not receive permanent status and the bonus. You must hold a regular credential (non-emergency) in order to obtain tenure status and receive a bonus.
