SEPTEMBER 2022

Recently, 300 people from across the state signed an open letter to Arizona’s candidates for Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction asking them to discuss and share solutions to Arizona’s most pressing education issues.

Arizonans want candidates to share solutions that address the most important issues that impact students and educators, including:

• Ensuring every Arizona public school classroom has a qualified teacher
• Helping students learn key subjects, like math and reading
• Raising teacher pay and increasing public school funding
• Increasing more opportunities for Career and Technical Education
• And more…

These priorities confirm the results from a recent poll of likely voters.

Join us on Thursday for this month's Education Power Hour! This month we will be joined by special guest Ann O'Brien, immediate past president of the Arizona School Boards Association, who will be sharing her perspective on how your vote impacts your local public schools.

This week, the Education Finance Reform Group is hosting a tele-town hall about the Aggregate Expenditure Limit (AEL) with Arizona State Senators Sean Bowie and Paul Boyer and other education leaders.

Plan to join the call to learn more about the AEL and its potential impact on Arizona schools if not addressed. To participate, click here to RSVP and you will receive a call on Wednesday to listen in.

Proposition 308 will give Arizona voters the chance to ensure every student who graduates from an Arizona high school, including Dreamers and undocumented students, will qualify for in-state tuition. 

Learn more about Prop. 308 and why we're supporting it.
