Florida removing tenure for new K-12 teachers

A new bill in Florida would dismantle tenure for new K-12 teachers.  If successful, is Florda the first state to do this?

It would place all new teachers on annual contracts, link salary increases and professional certification for all teachers to student learning gains and require school districts to divert 5 percent of their funding back to the state to pay for the program.
