The governor said he agrees with the teachers. He reiterated that his budget proposal included $400 million in additional funding for education.
Gov. Ducey said, “They may want us to do more. They may want it to be faster. I don’t think you can put any more money than we have into public education while protecting public safety and child safety…”
When asked about a possible teachers’ strike, the governor responded, “I’ve talked to a lot of superintendents, and they don’t think that would be a good idea for kids or learning inside of our classrooms.”
The Arizona Teachers United is planning to hold another protest at the state Capitol on March 28. The Arizona Parent Teachers Association and the Save Our Schools Arizona will be joining the rally.
