Teachers are rallying for education funding in the Republican-led state of Oklahoma.
Oklahoma lawmakers will convene rare Friday sessions as teachers continue to fill the state Capitol.
Republican leaders of the state House and Senate said they will meet Friday to consider legislation to raise more money. Lawmakers traditionally don't meet on Fridays during legislative sessions.
Oklahoma teachers are in the fourth day of a walk out.
The movement started with teachers striking in West Virginia and winning a 5-percent pay raise. It has continued in the conservative-led states of Kentucky and Arizona.
