Chris Christie also wants to end teacher pay hikes that are based on years of service

From The New York Times: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wants to take away tenure from ineffective teachers, saying that “tenure should be granted and maintained for those who show they know how to teach.” The governor also says teachers’ contracts should not increase salaries just for completion of a certain number of years of service, or for earning a master’s or other graduate degree, unless the teacher can show that their students’ performance improved.
