Can’t the Governor fire all the teachers that are protesting like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers?

I’m sure there are teachers in other states that have either been laid off, cut back to part time or substituting while they wait for a job that would be happy to move to WI to take some vacant positions!

“Can’t the Governor fire all the teachers that are protesting like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers?”

I don’t know how it works in Wisconsin, but in most states, teachers are employed by the local school board. They may bet part, or even most, of their salary from the state, but the hiring/firing decisions are made at the local level. So, to answer your question, the governor probably can’t fire them.
