| This measure was not put on an election ballot |
The Missouri School Teacher Tenure Ban Amendment did not appear on the November 2012 ballot in the state of Missouri as an initiated constitutional amendment.
The proposal would have banned tenure for school teachers for Missouri. The proposal was filed with the Missouri Secretary of State's office on January 17, 2012 by Jefferson City attorney Marc Ellinger.
Retired investor Rex Sinquefield was reportedly in support of the proposal, but was not leading the effort.[1]
Path to the ballot
To qualify for the ballot, the initiative required signatures from registered voters equal to 5% of the total votes cast in the 2008 governor's election from six of the state's nine congressional districts. Signatures on behalf of all initiative petitions for the 2012 ballot were due to the secretary of state’s office by no later than 5 p.m. on May 6, 2012.
