Tenure Wars: The Litigation Continues, 2016 University of Dayton
Tenure Wars: The Litigation Continues, Charles J. Russo
Educational Leadership Faculty Publications
Teacher tenure is a controversial topic that continues to generate litigation. Parents and advocates of educational reform have filed claims alleging, in part, that school officials violate the rights of students who are not achieving academically largely because of the ineffective instruction the students receive from teachers.
Typically, these suits also claim that conditions in districts where students perform poorly on academic measures are exacerbated by the protection that state tenure laws—in conjunction with union efforts—afford ineffective teachers, thereby making it difficult to dismiss the teachers for incompetence.
In North Carolina Association of Educators v. State (2016), a North Carolina …

Ask Not What Fhs Can Do For You, But What You Can Do For Fhs, 2016 Frederick Douglass Academy VII High School
Ask Not What Fhs Can Do For You, But What You Can Do For Fhs, Jessica Endlich Winkler
Occasional Paper Series
Jessica Endlich brings the reader into intimate contact with the faculty of a small, urban high school which depends heavily on voluntary teacher leadership, and finds itself straining against the limits of capacity. Her candid interviews show vividly the tensions that exist when there is never enough time, support, appreciation, and equity to turn a wonderful idea into reality. She suggests some baseline, common-sense strategies to enable teachers to lead without sacrificing their students or their own personal lives.
