Education groups stepping up pressure on Gov. Deal for education reform
Teachers unions are asking for more from Gov. Nathan Deal after his school takeover plan failed, and Deal has to figure out how to respond. The Georgia Federation of Teachers, headed by Verdaillia Turner, wants to sit-down with Gov. Deal to discuss education. “It is time to raise the bar. Georgia voters sent a message that we can no longer pander to political agendas when it comes to schools and kids,” Turner told the AJC.
