Fox News, August 23, 2016: California Supreme Court Decisions Keeps Teacher Tenure Protections

“In a victory for teacher unions, the California Supreme Court decided Monday to let the state's teacher tenure law stand. The high court decided not to review a lower court ruling that upheld tenure and other job protections for teachers. That ruling came in a lawsuit by a group of students who claimed that incompetent teachers were almost impossible to fire because of tenure laws and that schools in poor neighborhoods were dumping grounds for bad teachers. The appeals court said in its decision in April that the students had failed to show California's hiring and firing rules were unconstitutional.”
