The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System said Monday that it’s on the hunt for new math and English teachers to fulfill open roles at its high schools. The district is offering a $4,000 sign-on bonus to fill the positions.
There are more than a dozen high schools under the CMCSS umbrella. Open positions can be found and applied to at jobs.redroverk12.com/org/CMCSS.
A Clarksville School Board member who resigned just hours after being sworn-in now says she doesn’t want to resign and will serve on the board anyway.
Since the County Commission had not “accepted” the resignation, it has been ruled that she may remain on the Board.
Clarksville Now has more:
After new Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board member Teresa Crosslin withdrew her resignation from the board, the big question has been whether her resignation could be withdrawn, or if she would be allowed to remain a School Board member.
Crosslin had been sworn in the day before on Monday, and she resigned Monday evening, stating, “I, Teresa Crosslin, upon further consideration, am immediately resigning my position with the CMCSS School Board, District 3,” according to CMCSS
County Attorney says Crosslin can stay:
In his opinion letter, Harvey explained that under state law, the resignation must be filed with and accepted by the body that appointed Crosslin, which was the County Commission. Since the County Commission hasn’t met since her swearing-in, the commission hasn’t been able to accept the resignation. With the resignation being withdrawn, effectively nothing has happened.
The whole ordeal – joining the school board, being sworn in, resigning, missing the first meeting, then deciding to stay on – all took place in the course of a week.
Clarksville Now reports on an abrupt departure from the Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board:
The newly appointed District 3 representative on the Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board has resigned before her first meeting, within hours of being sworn in.
Teresa Crosslin was sworn in on Monday, Nov. 17, and resigned that evening, stating, “I, Teresa Crosslin, upon further consideration, am immediately resigning my position with the CMCSS School Board, District 3,” according to CMCSS.
She did not provide a reason for resigning, according to CMCSS spokesman Anthony Johnson. She was not present at Tuesday’s School Board meeting, which was to be her first.
