Good news for Tennessee teachers

The U.S. Department of Education has a bill before Congress that could save the jobs of 7,100 Tennessee teachers. Nashville Public Radio has the story:
Duncan says the bill would pump nearly $200 million into Tennessee to save teaching jobs. He doesn’t propose how to pay for the $10 billion package, but he says he doesn’t like a proposal in the Senate that takes money out of the Race to the Top fund.
