PROPOSALS
School Choice - Charters
-- Reform the process for authorizing charter schools.
School Choice - Vouchers
-- Establish tax credits to provide scholarships for low income students in the worst-performing schools in the state to enable them to attend a better school, either out of the district or a private school.
Teacher Quality - Seniority
-- End the system of "last in, first out." If layoffs are necessary remove the least effective teachers instead of just the most junior ones.
Teacher Quality - Tenure
-- Reform tenure – by measuring teacher effectiveness, both with professional observation, and objective, quantifiable measures of student achievement – and then by giving tenure to those with strong evaluations, and taking it away from those whose ratings are unacceptably weak.
Teacher Quality - Compensation
-- Pay teachers more when they are assigned to a failing school or to teach a difficult subject.
Teacher Quality -
-- End forced placements. Teachers should not be assigned to schools without the mutual consent of the teacher and the principal.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
School Choice - Charters
-- Passed the Urban Hope Act. This new law will allow school districts in Newark, Camden and Trenton to partner with experts in the private sector to build and operate renaissance schools in these districts so in need of change.
Teacher Quality - Retirement
-- Reformed the pension system which led to every teacher's pension being more secure today.
