NPR: Oklahoma Teachers Set For Statewide Walkout Amid Continued Pay Dispute
Teachers have rejected a pay raise passed by the state legislature last week, saying it doesn’t go far enough in addressing deep cuts in education in recent years.
Three of Oklahoma’s biggest school districts are closed today as teachers walk off the job. Educators say this strike isn’t just about higher salaries, it’s about the deep budget cuts that have impacted students.
This follows last month’s teacher strike in West Virginia that ended with a 5% raise.
