Slideshow: Arizona teacher walk-ins

The walk-ins at schools across Arizona were organized by Arizona Educators United as part of the wear #RedForEd movement to provide information and seek community and student support for their efforts to encourage lawmakers to raise per-pupil education funding to what it was before the recession and raise teachers’ salaries by 20 percent to be competitive with neighboring states.
