Leaders of Arizona Educators United and the Arizona Education Association, representing teachers and educational staff across the state in advocating for increased educational funding and competitive pay for staff, have announced plans for a #RedforEd WalkOut beginning on Thursday, April 26th. Cottonwood-Oak Creek School District Superintendent Steve King says he does not yet know how many of its staff will participate in the Walk-Out or its impact on daily operations of the schools. King says schools will only need to be closed if there is not enough staff to guarantee educational services and student safety. Officials are asking parents to rely only on the official district communication methods for information on a school closing. King says school closures will not be determined school by school, but rather district-wide and that parents can expect daily communication should school closures take affect. Check with your child’s school website for more information about possible closures.
