Your Call: How will ending teacher tenure affect education in California?

On the next Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about a California’s judge’s ruling against the state’s union backed teacher tenure laws. What are the state and national implications of this ruling? Who bankrolled this case? And how could axing tenure and seniority change the quality of education in California? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with rose Aguilar and you.
