| Governor Ted Strickland is defending his proposal to lengthen the school day and add 20 days to the school year. He says, if some teachers don't like the idea of teaching more, he'd just as soon not have them in Ohio.
"If a teacher says I'm going to teach in Kentucky instead of Ohio because the school day or school year is longer in Ohio, I would say to them I hope you enjoy Lexington or Louisville or Hazard or wherever you go," Strickland said.
His proposal at this point is just that, a proposal. To take effect, it needs to get an okay from state lawmakers. |
