❌ Vote NO Prop 320! Read the words of an Arizona educator and parent of a student with Down syndrome, who shares why Proposition 320 fails Arizona students – particularly students with disabilities and special needs. Join Arizona parents & educators in voting #NoProp320

💯"Every school district has different needs, & more government control over each school district’s budget to impose a one-size-fits-all spending model is not the answer… The answer is giving more money to our schools. Lawmakers could have done that. They chose to send Prop. 320 to voters instead.”

thefoothillsfocus.comFinch: Déjà vuI’ve seen this before.

OPINION: DVUSD Supt Dr. Curtis Finch sees AZ’s refusal to add any accountability to the $1B ESA voucher program as political déjà vu. 🔥“The Nov ballot may be about much more than vouchers. It may be about whether elected officials listen when taxpayers and voters keep saying, enough is enough.

He points out that in Michigan, lawmakers ignored voters and pushed voucher expansion without accountability, resulting in the loss of their legislative majorities… Now, Arizona is on track to do the very same thing.

coppercourier.com‘Quite frankly being tricked’: Arizona educators fear Prop 320 could mean fewer nurses, counselors in schoolsA teacher, a school counselor, and the head of Arizona’s school nurses group say Prop 320 would cut the staff who keep students in class, and might even shrink teacher pay.

AZ educators are raising major concerns about Prop. 320, which would force school districts to spend 60% of their budgets on “direct” instruction. Without adding new funding, educators warn the mandate could force budget cuts to essential support staff like counselors, nurses, and literacy coaches.

🎤 “Without investing any more money into our schools, just micromanaging districts that are already strapped for cash, this will take away a LOT of resources that I depend on as a teacher.” – Kristin Roberts, Arizona teacher coppercourier.com/news/electio...

azpbs.orgTrump administration halted millions in education funding for ArizonaThe Trump administration is behind the loss of millions of dollars in education funding affecting vital programs and students across Arizona.

😡 The Trump administration has cut nearly $72 million in federal education grants that directly support Arizona classrooms, teachers, and students.

A new national report reveals that federal funding disruptions have cut off millions meant for teacher recruitment, school lunch programs, university research, and student scholarships across Arizona. This is devastating for a state whose schools are already chronically underfunded!

40 AZ school districts, including 24 in Maricopa County, have bond or override measures on the ballot this November — we urge you to VOTE YES on ALL of them! #Vote4PublicEd #Election2026

abc15.comVoters to decide on measures proposed by 24 Maricopa County school districtsThis November, 24 Maricopa County school districts are asking voters for a bond, override, or both. A bond pays for buildings and equipment, safety upgrades, renovations, buses and more.

Because the #AZLeg funds our schools at 49th in the nation, AZ districts are forced to go out for bonds and overrides year after year to bridge the funding gap.

Districts who don’t pass these funding measures could face major cuts to essential needs like teacher salaries, building maintenance, safety upgrades, and extracurricular activities.
