Abstract

Although some dubbed 2018 "The Year of the Teacher, " touting large numbers of teacher candidates running for office, the results of November's elections were more mixed. Although voters expressed support for education in the PDK Poll, that support did not consistently translate into victory for teacher candidates or funding initiatives. Maria Ferguson considers the policy questions under consideration before the election and how the election results might affect education in the coming years .
