Reforms may end teacher tenure in N.J.
If Gov. Chris Christie and other education reform advocates get their way — as they expect — New Jersey will end teacher tenure as permanent job security, require more of high school students so they can get a job or go to college, and come up with new ways to judge and track students and teachers.
In addition, there could be more charter schools or private-public schools in urban areas, and many school districts could see an end to annual budget votes. (Method, Gannett)
