Nope. What was omitted from much of the previous rhetoric in-the-moment ("this governor has cost us thousands of teachers") is now finally being reported for what it was: ripcords on golden parachutes, or the foreign profs on lucrative deals going on to other things. The unions, around here anyway, have never represented "education" itself. (On the river we tend to terminate lampreys with extreme prejudice.)
Being of empty-nest, on the surface I sense a return to a desire for proficiency in some basic academics, first, then balanced with other things. Been wrong before, we'll see how it pans out I guess. I haven't heard of any programs usually touted as being endangered species being cut because of funding issues. Maybe they can afford them because they're not under the previous pension/health insurance stranglehold. Districts who had quit crying early & got to work seem to be doing the best.
Probably nothing to the union worry about teacher evals done by locally-elected school-board folks they don't have in their pocket.
