Missouri Voters Put Tenure On The Ballot

The Daily Caller reports:

Voters in Missouri will decide this November whether to weaken teacher tenure and tie salaries to performance, now that the measure has qualified for the ballot.

Constitutional Amendment 3 would require at least half of a teacher’s performance evaluation to be tied to the academic performance of his or her students, and that such evaluations play a central role in decisions on salaries, promotions, and layoffs. The measure would also cap contracts between districts and staff at three years, while giving administrators greater power to dismiss teachers, thereby weakening job protections for teachers.
