Over 140 Palm Beach teachers told not to return

More than 140 teachers have been told by their principals they are not welcome back next year, including 90 who teach critical needs subjects. The teachers work at seven schools across the district that have not met federal education standards, making them targets for restructuring. Usually one or two veteran teachers each year have been dismissed, but this year schools have asked 40 to leave. At least 100 teachers in their first three years in the profession have been told their contracts won't be renewed.
