Thank you @SenatorCarter for your kind words about #georgiateachers.

A House leader says I've unfairly questioned the commitment to schools by the Georgia leadership, citing outgoing several policies and actions by Gov. Nathan Deal as evidence. https://t.co/hBtL8tCRE6

Educators are paid 30 percent less on average compared to equally educated professionals, with wages stagnating since the early 1990s. One in five works a second job. https://t.co/RypYRg5plL

So, rallying for the last day of the teacher hunger strike will be held at a brewery…We are NOT judging, LOL! But, we are happy that Georgia politicians have promised necessary education funding for upcoming years! https://t.co/919UuSD8Dn

@GaDOE_SS @MrsCashon We are trying to earn this.

These teachers are thinking ahead in a way that others have not. States are great at doing just enough to get courts and voters off their back. Then they go back to their old ways. These strikes are putting the school funding pressure on in advance. https://t.co/V4mUpyID4Y

Hungry for Education is asking the Georgia gubernatorial candidates to commit to fully funding public education. Gov. Nathan Deal fully funded public education in Georgia this year, for the first time in 16 years.
