Quote of the Day | July 3, 2018

“We are one step closer to ending our state’s crippling teacher shortage. It will take years to rebuild our state’s teaching profession after a decade of eroded funding to public education and classrooms, but today brings much-needed certainty as we move forward. I am extremely optimistic about the future of public education.”
