Between 130 and 150 Memphis City Schools teachers are being recommended for termination for poor performance -- three times the number who lost their jobs for any reason last year.

By contract, MCS must notify the teachers by June 15. Many began getting the word early this week.

"Remember, this is the work we have been working on since we started working with the Gates foundation," said Supt. Kriner Cash.
