Statement from NEA-Alaska on Override of HB 57

The following statement can be attributed to Tom Klaameyer, President of NEA–Alaska in response to the Alaska Legislature voting to override Governor Dunleavy’s veto of HB 57:  

“I want to thank the legislators who came together to override the governor’s veto of HB 57.  Parents, students, teachers, and education support professionals are exhausted by the back and forth and uncertainty around education funding. I hope Governor Dunleavy heard the legislature’s message and will respect the override. It is time to stop playing politics with our kids' future.”
