We have it on good authority that First Lady Denise Morrisey is FUMING that her husband is sharing a podium with Larry Pack today, a man she hates as she has expressed to more people than she should have.

Yep, WV private schools receiving vouchers have not provided any evidence that they have improved educational outcomes or increased academic performance. WV leg refuses to ask for any accountability. wvgazettemail.com/opinion/op…

👍👍👍“Federal funding is not used to impose any curriculum or ideology—that’s actually not allowed by law—and those laws and norms shouldn’t be broken, regardless of who is president.” Read more @rweingarten @AFTunion at foxnews.com/opinion/randi-we…

It is hard to imagine how 7.5 million kids with disabilities, 26 million kids from low-income families or 13 million young people who get financial aid for college won’t be disserved.

Teachers in border counties such as Wayne will not see an increase in pay nor will our coal counties. This bill does nothing to address the teacher shortage & teacher migration out of WV. wvmetronews.com/2025/03/27/s…

Senate will consider pay bumps for teachers based on regional housing costs - WV MetroNews

The bill is meant to address the many places in West Virginia where teachers can cross the border to other states to jobs that pay more.

Replying to @rweingarten
Thank you, @rweingarten for speaking out on behalf of our kids, families and teachers. These cuts are disgusting and only serve the very rich. I'm proud to see our educators speaking up in advocating for students and programs, even though they're being viciously attacked.

80% of WV’s population lives in a border county. That’s means teachers can cross the border and earn more & receive better benefits. So, a salary increase based on housing costs takes in the wrong direction. wvmetronews.com/2025/03/18/s…

Senators consider pay bumps for teachers based on regional housing costs - WV MetroNews

A cost estimate prepared by the state Department of Education suggests the cost could go beyond $180 million.

What a racket. $870,000 a year to run one charter school! texastribune.org/2025/03/06/…

Valere Public Schools superintendent makes up to $870,000. His district serves 1,000 students.

On paper, Salvador Cavazos earns less than $300,000 to run Valere Public Schools, a small Texas charter network. But taxpayers likely aren’t aware that his total pay makes him one of the country’s...
