LANSING, Ill. (October 3, 2021) – Thornton Fractional Township School District 215 administrators are quite proud of their first- and second-year teachers — and want to show it.
The District 215 Board of Education meeting on September 28 was an occasion to honor those educators for their service and all that they will bring to their classrooms and students in the years to come.
“It’s one thing to recruit [teachers], but it’s another thing to retain,” said Dr. Sophia Jones-Redmond, Superintendent of Schools. She hopes that showing teachers who are relatively new to the district that they are valued will result in more educators regarding District 215 as a destination and a place to call home for the long term.
As a token of appreciation, each teacher received a gift bag containing funds for a one-year subscription to a professional educators organization of their choice. They also received a commemorative District 215 pin.
