Only a day after Kentucky’s governor warned that a teacher movement would be irresponsible and a mistake, the statewide teachers union called for public employees to return Friday to the Capitol when lawmakers are returning to session.

From the Kentucky Education Association calling for ‘day of action’ Friday to one district, Trimble County Schools, that has announced plans to close Friday despite of what Brent McKim said, all these photos will inform you about what happened.

The Kentucky Education Association calls for ‘day of action’ Friday. The President Stephane Winkler said that closing schools is a decision for the superintendent to make.

They asked superintendents to allow as many people as possible to attend using any available personal or professional leave. “All activity will be focused on legislative advocacy at the Capitol and Annex,” Winkler said.

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.

Kentucky’s teacher protest is different from ones that have closed schools in West Virginia, Oklahoma and now potentially Arizona.

Because they are paid so low and many of them had to work two or three jobs, those teachers from Kentucky are worried about their underfunded state pension plan.

Teachers hold this sickout to take swift and to be cautious. Also, you need to know that in average, teacher salaries, Kentucky is in the middle, ranking 26th among states, $52,134 in 2016, according to the National Education Association.

Without any input from educators, Kentucky’s surprise pension reform plan was tacked onto a wastewater services bill and went through a committee and both houses.

Teachers have said that it will be more difficult for school districts to attract good teaching candidates. And Bevins’ veto of a two-year budget proposal that would have allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to public education, increasing per-pupil spending to $4,000, is a continuation of a long-standing problem of skimping on schools.

One district, Trimble County Schools has announced plans to close Friday despite of what Brent McKim said – “We have seen teachers in JCPS (Jefferson County Public Schools) and across the state in the past lose their jobs due to misuse of a sick day”.
