Arizona school funding, teacher shortage crisis brings calls to renew Prop 123
Arizona spends less on education than nearly every other state, and Valley schools are struggling to stay afloat.
“We are at the bottom because we’re not investing in schools how the rest of the nation is,” said Geraldine Miranda, assistant director of fiscal policy at the Arizona Center for Economic Progress.
“If Prop 123 were to be expanded, it could free up more budget funds, general fund dollars, that could also go toward schools,” said Miranda.
