Jane Cunningham anti-tenure bill put on hold

It may come up later in the session, but Sen. Jane Cunningham's anti-teacher tenure bill, SB 806, was put on hold this week by the Senate.

The bill may be brought up again later in the session.

Sen. Cunningham's bill would totally eliminate teacher tenure, replacing it with a complicated series of one to four-year contracts, require most of teacher evaluation to be based on standardized test scores, and eliminate the role of seniority in hiring decisions.
