Superintendent Randy Dorn directs blame for loss of No Child Left Behind waiver to teachers’ union. The News Tribune,
“Dorn, the state superintendent of public instruction, said in a statement Thursday that he agrees with Duncan that “student progress should be one of multiple elements in a teacher’s evaluation.” He said lobbying by the state teachers union was to blame for Washington lawmakers’ failure to act, and now the state’s loss of the federal waiver.
“Unfortunately the teacher’s union felt it was more important to protect their members than agree to that change and pressured the Legislature not to act,” Dorn said in his statement.”
