-$113,000,000
On March 7, the Arizona State Legislature voted to pass a budget that will cut the state’s k-12 public education funding by $113 million. This news came as a shock to educators and parents in the state that already offers the lowest per pupil allocation in the nation, and consistently falls among the bottom ten states in national education rankings.
Surely the budget crunch will exacerbate the problems that plague Arizona’s classrooms, including large class sizes, lack of resources, and a severe shortage of qualified teachers.
Teacher Retention Project works closely with several community organizations that advocate for Arizona’s students and are working to improve the quality of public education.
