The Miller/Pelosi NCLB reauthorization bill imposes new federal mandates that undermine local control and employee rights.
- The Miller/Pelosi reauthorization plan undermines local control and erodes employee rights. It imposes hundreds of federal government mandates on California schools rather than letting local teachers, parents and school districts decide what’s best for their students.
- The reauthorization proposal undermines teachers’ rights to bargain issues such as pay, working conditions and other programs that directly impact local students and schools.
- California teachers work for local school districts not the federal government. This proposal’s attempt to mandate a particular evaluation or compensation process is an unprecedented federal infringement on teacher rights. It’s offensive and disrespectful to educators.
