Citizens in Charge

-

A ballot measure that aims to tie teachers’ pay to their “classroom performance” is adding another round to a long-running feud between Oregon’s teachers unions and conservative activist Bill Sizemore.

Sizemore, a one-time gubernatorial candidate who sponsored the teachers’ pay initiative and four others on the November ballot, says basing educators’ salaries on merit rather than seniority would improve the quality of the state’s schools.
