At stake is whether Arizona schools will have to cut nearly 18% of their budgets before July 1.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — A bipartisan group of legislators is calling on Gov. Doug Ducey to live up to his promise to call a special session to address a school spending crunch before he, and some of them, leave office at the end of the year.Lawmakers approved a $1 billion increase in funding for K-12 education in their 2022 regular session.
Second, said Udall, Ducey wanted proof there were the necessary 40 votes in the House and 20 in the Senate — two thirds of each chamber — to approve an override of the spending cap. That list was presented to Ratlief in October, Udall said.Sen. Sean Bowie, D-Tempe, said the bipartisan state budget Ducey wanted would not have gotten the necessary Democratic votes — there were holdouts among the majority Republican caucus — without that promise.
"Kids are going to be the ones that suffer,'' Wright said. What is needed is immediate action, not promises, he said. Risk aside, Udall said bumping the decision to the next regular legislative session would be inappropriate.Gubernatorial press aide C.J. Karamargin said Ducey wants to be sure schools get, and can spend, their extra dollars.
Reduced enrollment a factorThe current situation is caused by the convergence of several unusual factors.
