Teacher Tenure Under Attack

State legislators in the neighboring states of Wyoming and Montana are working on bills that would end teacher tenure. Not everyone is happy about the prospects of the change, especially teacher associations in the two states. Besides sharing geographic borders, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho all share another trait – heavily-Republican legislatures. With the anti-tenure ideas coming from Republicans in the other states, one might wonder if a similar plan could – or should – come to the Gem State anytime soon. Rep. Steve Thayn, R-Emmett, is a member of the House Education Committee.   Thayn says that he would like to have the discussion about enduing tenure, but wouldn’t make a firm commitment to supporting the idea/ Dustin Hurst , Idaho Reporter.
