Below is a statement in support of Governor Ducey’s teacher pay proposal from Eileen B. Sigmund, President and CEO of the Arizona Charter Schools Association.
“Governor Ducey’s plan to grant Arizona teachers a 20 percent pay increase by 2020 is a home run. This is exactly the kind of leadership Arizona needs at a time when our schools are telling us about their difficulties recruiting and retaining the best teachers.
“On behalf of the Arizona Charter Schools Association and the more than 550 public charter schools educating 185,000 students across our state, we urge legislators to move quickly in supporting Governor Ducey’s proposal.”
