LAST MONTH, A PETITION WAS FILED WITH THE MISSOURI SECRETARY OF STATE TO ELIMINATE TEACHER TENURE THROUGH A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. CHRIS GUINTHER (GUNTHER), PRESIDENT OF THE MISSOURI NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION SAYS THERE IS A MISCONCEPTION THAT PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE NO LONGER EVALUATED AFTER THEY
REACH TENURE...
GUINTHER ADDS THAT TEACHERS CANNOT OBTAIN TENURE UNTIL AFTER TEACHING FOR 5 YEARS...
GUINTHER SAYS THAT THE MAIN IMPACT OF ELIMINATING TENURE WOULD BE THE HARM TO STUDENTS. SHE SAYS TEACHERS WOULD BE FEARFUL OF ADVOCATING FOR STUDENTS DUE TO THE FEAR OF REPRISALS.
