Teachers unions sue Fla. over teacher evaluations

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Teachers unions on Tuesday sued the state and three local school boards over performance evaluations that grade Florida’s teachers on subjects and students they don’t teach, which they called “arbitrary, irrational and unfair.”

The suit, backed by the National Education Association and Florida Education Association, includes seven teachers from around the state as plaintiffs. The case was filed in federal court in Gainesville.
