what does it mean for a teacher to be tenured
Teacher tenure reform (United States) Teacher tenure is a policy that restricts the ability to fire teachers, requiring a "just cause" rationale for firing.[1] The individual states each have established their own tenure systems.[2] Tenure provides teachers with protections by making it difficult to fire teachers who earn tenure. Many states are focusing on tenure reform. Revisions would be made so that the tenure system no longer functions the same way as the existing tenure system functions.[3]
