Teachers beware the temptation of telling. “You can understand them better if we tell them what they are thinking” #Bays @DrBrooksla @BaysDawn

So proud of every teacher for their persistence and fighting for what they deserve. You are an example to your students not just across the state but the nation to stand up for what you believe is fair. #55strong

Dear senator @RyanFernsWV

Please pass the 5% raise for my well deserving teachers, and so I can enjoy my senior year to the fullest.

Please and thank you.
Sincerely, A student who wants to go back to school.

[Justin Ripley @JustinRipley]

If you want all teachers to go back to work @EdGaunchWV @SenCarmichaelWV @RyanFernsWV @SenatorKarnes do your job today and pass the pay raise bill. You are holding all of West Virginia hostage because you have taken things personal.

[Alisha Wallis @a_wallis]

The question is @SenatorKarnes who’s ego needs stroking? #circus #doyourjobcorrectly https://t.co/HadDqIfkVy

[Robert Karnes @SenatorKarnes]

So you'll be in school Monday helping kids or home stroking your ego? https://t.co/nncqCl1y1K

Senate is trying to recall HB 4145 after reportedly sending the version with language of the 5 percent raise back to the House by accident

[Brad McElhinny @BradMcElhinny]

So, get this. Delegates of both parties, plus Senate Dems are saying the Senate accidentally passed the bill with the House version language and pay scales

[Alisha Wallis @a_wallis]

@RyanFernsWV HB4145 needs to be addressed for students, staff and the taxpayers of WV

Out of 134 members in the @wvlegislature, 20 Republicans on #TeamMitch are hijacking an entire state's educational system. #wvpol #wvgov #wheresjim #55strong

@SenCarmichaelWV Do what’s right and provide a long term fix to PEIA and give the 5% pay raise.

[Chris O'Dell @clodell28]

@SenCarmichaelWV Long term fix Mr. Carmichael!

[Alisha Wallis @a_wallis]

@SenCarmichaelWV We need a long term solution to PEIA and the 5% salary increase #weneedboth

West Virginia's teachers are the 48th lowest-paid in the country, making about $45,000 a year. Nearly 20,000 of them walked out to protest for better wages and benefits.

[Dave Jamieson @jamieson]

I spoke to a lot of striking teachers in WV today. What they seem to want more than anything is just to keep teachers in their home state. They're worried about generation-lasting damage due to austerity. https://t.co/gh2AFFomeJ

Every public school in West Virginia has shut down as teachers’ strike enters second week: https://t.co/JNnkLq1jS1
