New tenure law

I know some people may not agree, but NYS is on the right track on this particular law. An amendment has been added to an education law that makes it impossible to deny a teacher tenure based upon their students' standardized test scores. This is a good thing. No matter how hard I try, I cannot control what my students will do on their test scores.

Keep in mind, a teacher can still be denied tenure with NO CAUSE in NYS. So there is wiggle room for districts.
