Teacher Tenure in the House

March 16th, 2011 by flanews

The State House is debating the merits of ending teacher tenure and tying pay raises to student performance.

The debate began at one (est) and is scheduled for six hours. Before the debate began Democrats gathered with teachers and community activists to protest the bill. Representative Geraldine Thompson says given the Republican super majorities in the House and Senate the outcome is a forgone conclusion, but that won’t keep her quiet.

“We are not going to be silenced. We know that the numbers are not with us, but we have to make the chase for the citizens of the state of Florida,” said Thompson.

Last year Former Governor Charlie Crist vetoed similar legislation. Governor Rick Scott says he’ll sign the bill.
