Expect More Arizona CEO Discusses Outlook For Education Budget Plan

The Legislature has reconvened this morning to try to pass a budget plan that would include teacher funding.

The $10.4 billion spending plan would provide for an average 9 percent pay hike for teachers next school year along with funds for additional district assistance. The plan has some #RedForEd supporters feeling more optimistic.

Christine Thompson, the CEO of Expect More Arizona, joined The Show about the plan.
