I'm interested in nominating an elementary teacher for the 2025 Teacher of the Year Awards in Yonkers. Can you tell me the nomination deadline, the eligibility requirements for nominees, and the very first step in the selection process once nominations are submitted?
Navigate to the 'Mayor's Office' section on the Yonkers, NY website. Proceed to the 'Initiatives' page within the Mayor's Office. Locate and navigate to the 'Teachers of the Year' page. Identify the nomination deadline for the 2025 Teacher of the Year Awards. Extract all listed eligibility requirements for nominees. Find and state the first step of the selection process.
State that the nomination deadline is March 3, 2025. List all five eligibility requirements: 1) Employed as a teacher in the Yonkers Public School for at least five years; 2) Demonstrates a dedication to the teaching profession which has led his/her students to both knowledge and understanding; 3) Initiates new, meaningful programs for either students, teachers or parents, or been innovative in the use of existing programs; 4) Displays significant community involvement; and 5) To be eligible for the award, all nominated teachers must complete and submit an application form. State that the first step in the selection process is the Yonkers Board of Education (BOE) Personnel Department reviewing applications for compliance to the five-year employment requirement and providing qualifying applications to the Kiwanis Club.
