2014 Arizona Governor's race: on Education


Fred DuVal: Stop the cuts to our children's schools: and stop vouchers

Q: What is the single biggest under-funded item in the Arizona state budget?

A: Without a doubt--education. For years we've made it known: loud and clear: that education is not our top priority. As governor, I'll stop the cuts to our children's schools: not another dollar, not another dime, not another penny. We have to reinvest in our kids' schools to give them the skills they need to succeed and get the jobs of the future. Q: What is the single Arizona state budgeted program that should be cut or eliminated?

A: The expansion of private school vouchers has diverted money from our children's schools and hurt the quality of their education. As governor, I would roll back the expansion of private school vouchers to reinvest in our public and charter schools.

Fred DuVal: Invest early in education; start with all-day kindergarten

Today, whether your child or grandchild has free access to all-day kindergarten depends on a zip code. That's not right. If Arizona's children are going to be competitive in the 21 st century economy, we need to recognize the importance of investing early in their education, starting with all-day kindergarten as a basic foundation
