Obama Tells Governors to Hire More Public School Teachers

President Barack Obama lectured the nation’s governors Monday to stop cutting education and to hire more public school teachers, and he proposed spending $25 billion to prevent further layoffs.

The National Governor’s Association held its winter meeting in Washington over the weekend, where the chief executives from states across the country convened to discuss matters affecting their states such as how to handle budgets, and issues such as education and health care.

“We’ve just got to get more teachers into our classrooms,” Obama told the governors gathered at the White House Wednesday morning. “Over the past four years, school districts across America have lost over 250,000 educators – 250,000 teachers, educators have been lost. A quarter million educators responsible for millions of our students, all laid off when America has never needed them more.”

  1. Yes all those have been lost under his watch. Where does he propose we get the funds to continue hiring these folks. He shot down a pipeline that would have created 100,000+ jobs hich would generate tax dollars to support those jobs. Talking out both sides of his mouth again. O'Malley will be his veep at this rate.
