Help Make Education a Top Priority in Arizona
The approval of Proposition 100 prevented further cuts and provides a temporary solution. The people of Arizona have demonstrated they value the long-term interests of education and wish to protect it during this budgetary crisis. Now we need to challenge ourselves to continue to make education a top priority because by advancing our educational success in Arizona, we will advance our economic success as well.
Three task forces have emerged from a series of community conversations in February and April. Our community is ready to unify and act on behalf of making public education the top priority in Arizona. Join others who have already signed up to support public education in these three top areas identified by the hundreds in attendance by informing us using the Contact Us page of our website.
Community Conclusions |
- Civic Responsibility: For the state to be changed, citizens need to change; so each of us is consistently thinking and acting with a sense of civic responsibility.
- Strategic Plan: The current model for state funding of public education needs to be replaced with a proactive strategic plan supporting and sustaining a public education system.
- Healthy Budget: Arizona is on the brink of devastating its citizenry's contributions and creating a mass exodus of business. Generating a stable revenue stream for financing public education is an important aspect to retaining and improving our business climate.
This is a journey, there is no quick fix.. |
