While the teacher in question is in her second year of employment she did not register for probation last year. An application to register for probation from the teacher in question was received during Round 3 of the submissions process in this school year which closed on November 7th 2008. Inspectors are currently in the process of being assigned to teachers who registered for probation in round 3. This process will be completed within a week or so. The teacher will then receive a letter of notification and it is expected that initial visits will be made during the following three school weeks.
