FRANKLIN, Pa. (EYT) — Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed House Bill 805, despite the wishes of some in the region.
HB 805, also known as the Protecting Excellent Teachers Act, would have done away with using seniority as the sole factor in teacher layoffs and would have required teacher performance to guide layoff and reinstatement decisions.
Franklin School District Superintendent Pamela Dye was in favor of the act.
