Teacher licensing commission chairman announces early retirement
David Martin, chairman of the Mississippi Commission on Teacher and Administrator Education, Certification, Licensure, and Development, told fellow commissioners he will step down before his term ends.
At the commission's Nov. 6 meeting, Martin said, "I am informing you that I have decided to retire at the end of the school year, which means I will be completing this commission a little early. So, I'm wrapping up the school year, and it looks like May 7th will be the last meeting I'll have." He said he plans to continue working with students through Jumpstart Test Prep.
The commission oversees who may teach in Mississippi's public schools and currently has an active agenda on licensure pathways. A change in its chairmanship means commissioners will be watching who sets that agenda after Martin's final meeting.
