Governor Katie Hobbs’ $17.8 billion budget proposal has some public education advocates disappointed. Some say they feel Governor Hobbs’ promises fell short. MORE ⬇️
The organization Save Our Schools Arizona and other organizations want Hobbs and lawmakers to pass a budget that reflects a rollback on the universal Empowerment Scholarship Account program.
“I think it's really shocking for teachers, parents, people all over the state who are expecting Governor Hobbs to come out with a budget that would have significantly rolled back this program for economic reasons, to support public schools,” said Beth Lewis, the director of Save Our Schools Arizona.
As for other parts of the tentative budget, Governor Ducey’s results-based funding will go away. That’s where schools that performed well got more money.
