COLUMBIA, Mo. -
The Columbia Public School Board voted unanimously against a controversial amendment.


Amendment 3 would require teachers to be evaluated by a standards-based performance evaluation system.
The Moberly School Board has already opposed it, saying it would take control away from the schools.
Jefferson City Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Brian Mitchell said the amendment would take away local control from parents, teachers, and school districts and put it in the hands of politicians.
The Columbia School Board met Thursday morning to vote on the issue
