THE BACK PEW: March 1, 2018

SCHOOLS. I met with
hundreds of teachers this past
week. Some who support the
strike. Some who do not. They all
agree on one thing: They want
this to end so they can get back
to their students. How?
PROPOSED DEAL. Gov.
Justice proposed ending the
strike by: 1 ) giving a 5% raise to
teachers and school service
personnel as well as a 3% raise
to other state employees (except
Correctional Officers, who will
receive more); 2) taking anti-
public education bills off the
table, and 3) forming a task force
including educators to find a
long-term PEIA fix. That's a
