Florida measure to tie teacher pay to student test scores draws opposition

States around the nation are positioning themselves to compete for millions of dollars in Race to the Top education grants from the federal government, and some are considering reforms that have long been on conservative wish lists, such as private school vouchers and an emphasis on standardized testing. In Florida, a measure that would tie teacher pay to student test scores is expected to pass the House today. It’s opposed by many educators and students and the real question now is if Florida’s governor will veto the bill. From WMNF Community Radio in Tampa, Sean Kinane reports.
