PDF versionThe Orange County Register (2/26, Leal) reports that Orange County, CA schools Superintendent William Habermehl "proposed eliminating teacher tenure, boosting local control of education funding and reducing federal and state regulations Thursday during his annual State of Education speech." Habermehl "admitted many of his proposed reforms would face tough challenges from lawmakers, unions and other groups. But the several consecutive years of massive budget cuts have severely damaged the ability of schools to provide an education necessary for students to succeed in the 21st century, he said."
