It looks like teachers at Phoenix’s Isaac School District will finally get their checks Friday. They had been working without pay since Tuesday.
Earlier this month, the district was placed under state receivership as it faced a massive budget shortfall.
That left county and state officials scrambling to figure out how to float the district money in order to keep schools open. Tuesday was payday for Isaac teachers, but no checks came.
On Wednesday, the Tolleson Union High School District agreed to buy some of the Isaac School District’s property to solve the problem.
On Friday morning, Maricopa County released payroll for Isaac, and employees are expected to see their direct deposits in the afternoon or evening.
