NASHVILLE – Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh pledged Thursday to oppose efforts in the legislature to undermine the rights of our teachers across the state. “Our most precious asset is our children. And, nothing should be more important than those that teach them,” said Naifeh (D-Haywood & Tipton Counties). “Yet, the first initiative of the new Republican majority is to undermine our teachers by attempting to cut back on their pay and benefits. “This, at a time when teachers are doing more and more in and out of the classroom. We need to support our teachers by
allowing them the ability to have input in their careers, their students and their schools.” Gov. Bill Haslam said Thursday the current tenure law would be stripped and not available until five years of probationary work by teachers. The current probationary time is three years, after which a teacher can’t be fired without probable cause. Even after tenure is obtained a teacher is still subject to disciplinary action or dismissal for incompetence, inefficiency, insubordination, neglect of duty or unprofessional conduct. Another bill, which takes away the rights of teachers to negotiate a contract covering their
salary, benefits, working conditions, school safety, class size, planning time, time to teach, length of the school day, scheduling and other priorities, passed the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday. “These are just more changes that will make the teaching profession less attractive to our young people,” Naifeh said. “This ‘Education Reform’ is being used as a keyword for tearing down the walls that protect our teachers. These efforts will harm working families. Anything that does this should have no part in ‘reform.’” Teachers signed off on “Race to the Top” legislation last year impos-
ing stricter standards on themselves. That agreement has been broken in that more standards are being suggested, while Race to the Top guidelines have yet to be implemented, Naifeh said. “We were hoping to see a jobs package from the Republicans and the administration, but it wasn’t included in the legislative package introduced on Thursday,” Naifeh said. “I will be working with my colleagues to develop a package to bring more jobs to Tennessee in the coming weeks and that will include preserving quality jobs and rights for our teaches and all working families across the state.”
