Dayton vetoes overhaul of teacher tenure rules, a top GOP priority | StarTribune.com: "With a veto Thursday of a proposal to upend schoolteacher layoff rules, Gov. Mark Dayton wiped out one of state Republicans' top priorities.
Dayton said the measure was an example of "prejudice against public school teachers" that singled out hard-working teachers by negating long-establishing bargaining rights, replacing them "with only vaguely formulated ideas."
The veto heightens the tension between the DFL governor and the Republican-dominated Legislature.
The education measure would have ended the "last-in, first-out" seniority-based system of layoffs that governs Minnesota public school teachers whose local contracts do not already allow consideration of other issues such as teacher effectiveness."
