Objectives

To ensure steady progress in the success of Arizona’s public schools and its students, the coalition has identified four key objectives to champion with state lawmakers

Broaden existing revenue streams and reject proposals to shrink funding availability for public education through tax cuts and the expansion of tax credits and school vouchers

Expand and stabilize our workforce of qualified teachers through competitive compensation and professional support

Provide critical tools for classrooms with supplies and updated textbooks and technology

Repair and maintain school facilities to give students safe, clean and functional places to learn
