Nehring statement on final ruling in landmark education quality case Vergara v California

8/28/2014

 
SACRAMENTO -- Republican Lt. Governor candidate Ron Nehring today issued the following statement in response the final ruling in the groundbreaking educational quality case, Vergara v. California, in which sections of the California education code covering teacher tenure, dismissal, and layoffs have been struck down.  Nehring is a former high school district trustee. 

"Today's final ruling is a big win for students across California, and it opens the door for badly needed reforms to ensure students have access to excellent teachers.  For too long, too much of California's education system has been designed to serve the needs of the adults, not the students, and this verdict constitutes a major victory in the cause to put students first.

"As Lt. Governor, I'll champion the cause of reform in our schools that give local school leaders the tools they need to ensure every classroom is led by a great teacher, and that parents have the power to choose the school that works best for their kids.

Predictably, in comments to the San Jose Mercury-News, incumbent Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom (D) defended the laws that have now been struck down, including the use of seniority as the sole criteria for layoffs, rather than a teacher's performance.
