Teachers in the Isaac Elementary School District should be receiving their paychecks soon.
The fate of their future pay remained in question despite the educators' decision to come back to work earlier this week for the district that is currently financially underwater by an estimated $28.5 million.
The state Department of Education recently obtained $6 million in emergency funding from the federal government, and the Tolleson Union High School District voted to loan the district another $25 million in taxpayer dollars to help keep the district operating, which was approved by Maricopa County Treasurer John Allen.
Lawmakers in the legislature are also looking into why as well as moving forward with Gress’ bill, House Bill 2610, to help enable more funding and removing governing board leaders when situations like this unfold.
