Motion to Table.  Floor Amendment 1, by Janek. Mar. 27, 2003, p 741 Motion to table the Janek Amendment failed 10-19.

YCT Nay. The bill would make consequences to low- performing public schools optional. The consequences in question are the ability of the school district to fire under-performing teachers instead of reassigning them within the district. YCT supports the proposal of giving under-performing schools the option to fire poor teachers instead of reassigning them within the district. YCT supports efforts to penalize low-performing schools and their administrators as a first step towards a school voucher system
