COLUMBUS -- By the 2013-14 academic year, teachers' pay and job security will be based in large part on how well their students score on standardized tests, as well as how the educators interact with parents, students and the community.
That is just one of dozens of significant provisions included in Senate Bill 5, which Gov. John Kasich signed into law on Thursday night. Union leaders have vowed to put the new law up for a voter referendum on Nov. 8.

Officials from eight public school divisions in the Roanoke region gathered Monday morning to endorse a proposal to overhaul the state's kindergarten through 12th grade education system, including moving away from standardized multiple choice tests and toward merit pay for teachers.
The news conference at Virginia Western Community College happened hours before Gov. Bob McDonnell proposed his own series of changes to public education.

Editor's note: The U.S. Supreme Court majority opinion in the New Haven firefighters case was written by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, in which Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. joined. It is excerpted below. We conclude that race-based action like the city's in this case is impermissible under Title VII unless the employer can demonstrate a strong basis in evidence that, had it not taken the action, it would have been liable under the disparate-impact statute. The respondents (the city), we further determine, cannot meet that threshold standard. As a result, the city's action in discarding the tests was a violation of Title VII.
