From Carolina Journal Radio Program No. 676: The N.C. Supreme Court recently upheld a lower-court ruling that blocked the state from taking tenure away from public school teachers. The ruling means that teachers who had secured tenure before the law was passed in 2013 can keep the additional job protections tied to tenure, officially known as “career status.” Other teachers will not be granted tenure moving forward. Terry Stoops, the John Locke Foundation’s director of research and education studies, assesses the significance of the court’s ruling.
