Relevant News Item: California Teacher Tenure Laws Ruled Unconstitutional. A judge ruled Tuesday (June 10, 2014) that Californias public school teacher tenure laws are unconstitutional, after hearing testimony from students who argued the job protections made it virtually impossible to dismiss low-performing teachers.The decisions implementation was put on hold, however, pending appeals. Vergara v. California had pitted the state and its largest teacher unions against a group of students who asked the judge to consider laws regarding teacher tenure, dismissal and seniority consideration for layoffs. A Silicon Valley-based group called Students Mattter brought the lawsuit on behalf of nine students, contending the targeted laws hinder the removal of ineffective teachers and disproportionately hurt low-income and minority students. In his ruling Tuesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu cited the Supreme Courts landmark equal protection ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, saying that all students are entitled to equal education. The current laws create a situation in which minority and low-income students are discriminated against when ineffective teachers are placed in their schools, he found. Document: Judge Issues Tentative Ruling In the 16-page ruling, Treu said California laws on the hiring and firing of teachers have resulted in a significant number of grossly ineffective teachers currently active in California classrooms. He called the evidence in support of the plaintiffs claims compelling and agreed that a disproportionate share of underperforming teachers are in schools that have mostly minority and low-income students. The ruling affects K-12 teachers in public schools.
