TopicTeacher tenure
ContentWhile I was serving in the OK State Senate in the early 1970's, a measure was passed granting tenure to Oklahoma teachers. I originally and still do oppose this legislation. It has become a cloak behind which incompetant teachers are able to renew their contracts year after year. I think the measure needs to be addressed and serious consideration given to repealing. This legislation has tied the hands of the local school boards and is a contributing factor to the knowledge that we are losing scores of qualified teachers to neighboring states each year.
