Eyewitness NewsTRENTON -- New Jersey's state Senate is set to consider a measure that would make it harder for teachers to earn tenure protections - and easier to lose them. A vote is expected Thursday on the bill, which would require good job evaluations twice in three years before teachers could have tenure.
The Assembly's education committee has advanced a similar but not identical bill. However, no vote has been scheduled for the entire Assembly.
The bill up before the Senate has the support of a wide range of education groups, including two teachers unions and an organization supporting school boards. Gov. Chris Christie says he is supportive of the ideas in the bill.---
