Apparently, 30 school districts closed March 30, so teachers could protest the way lawmakers passed a pension reform bill, which was introduced and passed through both chambers in a couple of hours. The next Monday, districts in all 120 countries were closed.
Thousands of teachers flocked to Frankfort for a rally. GOP Gov. Matt Bevin signed the teachers’ pension bill into law Tuesday, a day after vetoing the budget and tax reform bills. He advised against a teacher action, saying the Kentucky Education Association is the problem, at a press conference.
