This article discusses how teachers unions backed senate candidate Jon Ossoff and the implications for education: Ossoff stated he would help ensure a fully funded public education system that will “level the playing field” for all children across the state of Georgia. Just as well, the national education association endorsed his candidacy and they are excited to back someone who will address the inequalities for rural, low-income, and minority students. According to the article, Ossoff said in the interview, “I look forward to working alongside the Georgia Association of Educators and the National Education Association to strengthen public schools, increase teacher pay, expand pre-K education, and make public colleges and HBCUs 100% debt free for all Americans.”
