Reinvest $1 billion cut from our schools

Arizona's education system routinely ranks near the bottom of the nation. That's unforgivable, and we need to fix it. In recent years, the political extremists who control Arizona's legislature have cut more than $1 billion from our schools and they fail to see that their actions will have crippling economic consequences for our future. We need to ensure that our students are prepared to lead the world in innovation, research, and technology. It's time we reset our priorities and ensure that education remains at the top. That starts with protecting and reinvesting in our public schools.
