Take Action: Minnesota
It’s time to end the antiquated policy of “last in, first out” (LIFO) and save great Minnesota teachers. Minnesota must enact laws that ensure that even when layoffs are necessary, our best teachers stay in the classroom where they belong.
Key Provisions Expected in Legislation
Save Great Teachers
When teacher layoffs are necessary, the best teachers should be protected. Layoffs should be based on performance, not on seniority.
Meaningful Evaluations
We should evaluate teachers and principals in a fair and meaningful way so we can reward excellence and support those who need improvement.
Empowering Parents
Parent involvement is critical to student success. We must empower parents with quality information and with alternatives when their child is not getting the education they deserve.
