The Idaho State Legislature has given final approval to a measure restricting the collective bargaining of public school teachers. The bill would limit teachers’ collective bargaining to salaries and benefits, precluding issues including class sizes and workload. It also ends teacher tenure, limits teacher contracts to one year, and removes seniority as a factor in determining layoffs. Republican Gov. Butch Otter is expected to sign the measure into law.
