Report New Degree

Degree Changes: Certified personnel are required to document their intention to obtain an advanced degree for the upcoming school year by responding to the Employment Intention survey.  This survey is released in January each year. This notification via the Employment Intention survey is necessary so that appropriate funding can be set aside to cover the increased cost of an advanced degree. The Employment Intention survey response does not replace the actual Contract Revision Form on this page. 

The following steps must be completed in order to receive pay on your advanced degree:

Step 1: Complete the Advanced Degree Request Form by clicking this link  Advanced Degree Request Form - Contract Revision

Step 2: Submit OFFICIAL SEALED TRANSCRIPTS to the Human Resources Department: 

Mailing Address: Greeneville City Schools, Attn: Human Resources, 129 West Depot Street Greeneville TN 37743

Step 3: Licensure Changes Required (for Masters, Masters+30, Ed.S., and Ed.D only)

The above advanced degrees require teachers to have their teaching license updated with the Tennessee Department of Teacher Licensing.  Teachers should check with their higher education institution in order to confirm this has been completed.  Otherwise, it is the teacher's obligation to complete the transaction in TNCompass. 

The licensure office will require you to send them official sealed transcripts to the following address:

Tennessee Dept. of Education, 9th Floor Andrew Johnson Tower, 710 James Robertson Pkwy, Nashville TN 37243

If you need assistance with this transaction, please contact the HR department and we will gladly assist you.
