Hours after the WV Teachers Unions announced a statewide strike, the Omnibus Education Bill passed through the Senate, 18-16.
Last week, the House of Delegates made major changes to the bill but on Monday an amendment by the Senate washed away many of those changes.
The new version of the bill reintroduced ESAs, with 1,000 for special needs and bullied students. It also took the number of charter schools from two to seven, with a limit of two introduced per year.
Senate President Mitch Carmichael reacted to the strike on Twitter Monday night," After years of ruining our state’s public education system, the teacher union bosses have finally lost their grip on the Legislature and seemingly have lost their grip on reality.

Shut down the government, they go berserk and we are all doomed. Shut down the public schools and they are brave and courageous heroes.
Legalized extortion. No other term describes this.
