2022 AZ Governor's race: on Education


Karrin Taylor Robson: It is time to fund students instead of systems

As Governor, I will work with lawmakers to put parents firmly in control of their children's education. That means ensuring that state funding follows each student, enabling parents to select the education that is the best fit-- whether district, charter, private, online, microschool, homeschool or another option not yet imagined. It is time to fund students instead of systems.

As Governor, my administration will develop a report card for every school to detail their academic performance and other key information for families. This is a key part of education transparency, but it's just the beginning. Parents should have access to classroom curriculums and lesson plans, and I support requiring that these materials be posted online for easy review.

Katie Hobbs: Expedite robust fixes to school buildings across the state

Students need an environment conducive to learning, and schools shouldn't need to jump through hoops to get crumbling classrooms fixed the right way--like fixing leaking roofs and replacing malfunctioning air conditioning systems. That's why Katie Hobbs will streamline and cut red tape at the Arizona School Facilities Board. Hobbs will also expedite robust fixes to school buildings across the state and aim to lower the costs of long-term maintenance.

Katie Hobbs: New funding for STEM education grants and scholarships

We need to prioritize training students for good-paying jobs in our rapidly growing STEM sector. While STEM jobs pay double that of non-STEM fields on average, people of color and women are underrepresented. A Hobbs Administration will work with the Department of Education to provide new funding for grants and scholarships dedicated to creating more STEM educators and providing resources to build a pipeline of diverse students with the skills needed to land jobs with Arizona employers.
