It could soon be harder to fire teachers in Connecticut under a bill passed by the state Senate Tuesday.
The measure would shift final termination decisions from local school boards to a neutral arbitrator.
Teachers could also only be fired for "just cause" under the proposal.
In a separate vote, the Senate also approved a ban on police handcuffing children under 14.
Exceptions would apply if the child is threatening physical violence.
Both bills now head to the House.
