TRENTON -- New Jersey should make it more difficult for public school teachers to earn tenure, eliminate some school budget votes and provide a "robust" slate of school choice options for parents, according to the education transition committee report advising new Gov. Chris Christie.
The 25-page report, which also looked at higher education, included dozens of recommendations, from requiring teachers to work longer before getting tenure, to freezing salaries for "employees at all levels" in schools next year if other public employee salaries are frozen.
