Isn't firing teacher's in this manner a violation of contractual agreements. Presumably the teacher's union has a contract with the board.

Obmaa is supposed to be pro-union I thought. The unions will think twice about support him in future at this rate.

A Rhode Island school board’s decision to fire the entire faculty of a poorly performing school, and President Obama’s endorsement of the action, has stirred a storm of reaction nationwide, with teachers condemning it as an insult and conservatives hailing it as a watershed moment of school accountability.(NY Times)
