Change in the status quo.
At issue is q change In Rule
10 Of the Board Of Education.
1t would also School Supt. Carl
n. Hanson TO fire a probation
airy teacher and withdraw from
that teacher any right to APP
peal.
= In recent years. school ON
Gals point out. the tendency
has been for a probationary
teacher asked to leave. to hire
a lawyer and take the fight be-
fore the Board Of Education.
In short, she has applied the
right of appeal she now enjoys.
Hearings Last Months
What has taken place is a
long, exhausting hearing last
ing for months in which the
teachers superior-usually the
principal Of the school--finds,
or at least feels, he is the one
on trial. The principal discovers,
under stiff cross examination
and in public that proving a
teacher incompetent is no easy
matter.
The result over the years has
been a reluctance on the part
of most principals to request
dismissal Of a teacher on these
grounds. She is given, instead,
a satisfactory rating and passes
into a lifetime tenure"
The probationary teacher is
usually Just out Of a teachers
college and has passed the Ma
tional Teachers Examination.
She then goes through a period
of two years of teaching. At
the end of the two years, she
is given either a satisfactory"
or unsatisfactory" rating. With
a good rating, she gets tenure"
Ia condition which means she
viii not be graded at the end
Of each school year. She thus
becomes q permanent teacher.
Disagreement In Board
At odds over the new rule
are Board President Walter N.
Tobriner and Mrs. Ruth Spen-
Ger, a member Of the board.
Mr.. Tobriner sees in the new
rule an opportunity to rid the
system of those teachers who
represent the future dead
wood" of the teaching corps.
He would remove them before
they gain tenure.
Mrs. Spencer, on the other
hand, feels the withdrawal of
