Each year every school district throughout this State shall conduct a study within each school building to determine those certified employees (teachers) who are deserving of the title “teacher of the year” from that building. One teacher of the year may be selected to represent all of the charter schools in the State. The selection process will follow the guidelines developed by the Department of Education which includes input from teachers, administrators and Department of Education staff. After the buildings make their individual selections, the district-wide teacher of the year shall be selected from each district, following the current guidelines. The final step will be the selection of the state “teacher of the year.”
