A Simple Breakdown Of Quick Plans Of
Kelley Fisher, a 20-year teaching veteran who attended Wednesday’s demonstration, said education funding should be increased so educators don’t have to take multiple jobs. “I really feel like everyone has been pushed to the brink at this point, and if we’re going to make a move, this is when it’s going to be,” she said. Arizona teachers were galvanized into action by the success of a similar movement in West Virginia earlier this month where teachers won a 5 percent raise after going on strike. In Oklahoma, the Legislature narrowly averted a threatened teacher walk-out by passing tax hikes on Wednesday that will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for salaries. Arizona teachers are among the lowest paid in the nation. Adjusted for local cost of living, federal figures show elementary teachers in Arizona rank 50th in earnings nationally and high school teachers rank 49th. Arizona schools faced massive cuts after the Great Recession as state revenues plunged. But despite the economic recovery, schools are still getting substantially less in state money than in 2008 even as the Republican-controlled Legislature passes new tax cuts each year. Last week, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation to extend a sales tax that provides more than $500 million a year for K-12 schools until 2041. But the teachers protesting on Wednesday continued to put the onus on the governor, breaking out into chants of “What’s the plan, Ducey?” and hoisting signs that read “Hey Duecy, where’s my raise?” Many donned stickers that read “I don’t want to strike, but I will.” Ducey’s office issued a statement Wednesday that said the governor “believes teachers are the biggest difference-makers out there.” The statement said that teacher salaries have increased 4.3 percent from 2016 to 2017, but that the governor plans to continue a dialogue with teachers about increasing investment in schools.
