The president of the Arizona Education Association said Tuesday he was unaware of any teacher who had received a $10,000 raise, despite Gov. Doug Ducey claiming the opposite.
“It was surprising to me to hear that there are teachers out there that have received a $10,000 raise as the governor has claimed,” Joe Thomas told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Bruce St. James and Pamela Hughes. “I have not met one.”
Ducey told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Mac & Gaydos on Monday that teachers had thanked him for giving them $10,000 raises. Thomas, whose group represents about 40 percent of the state’s teachers, said that number didn’t seem right.
