>Tenure, charters, vouchers: Lame duck session’s big three
Now that New Jersey’s midterm election is over, with little changed in the legislature, it’s back to business in the Statehouse — and that means education reform.
Gov. Chris Christie yesterday put out his now-familiar call for the Democratic-controlled legislature to act on what he said are the state’s priorities, starting with his package of proposals on teacher tenure, charter schools, and school vouchers.
The Democratic leadership, for its part, put out its schedule for the next two months, starting next Monday.
And for all of Christie’s prodding, which is expected to continue today with an education event in Secaucus, the legislature is actually pretty far along on several of the governor’ core proposals. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
