The chiefs of America’s three largest public school districts have resigned within two months of each other following a tumultuous year.

The #RedForEd campaign has spurred West Virginia teachers to walk out of their classrooms Tuesday, nearly one year since their last teacher strike.
“The rally is the latest Red for Ed action in a series of events ranging from the teacher walkouts in West Virginia, Arizona, and Oklahoma, to the recently concluded L.A. teachers strike,” said the National Education Association (NEA) – the nation’s largest teachers’ union – in its media outlet, NEA Today.
