A state lawmaker’s bid to reduce desegregation spending may cost TUSD as much as $8 million next year and far more in the ensuing years — funds that are earmarked to help bring racial balance to district campuses.

Laurie Roberts' Dec. 23 column highlighting public schools that do not receive funding through school tax-credit programs captures a major equity issue. Some school districts have the ability to make use of the program in a far greater capacity than others, which potentially runs afoul of the Arizona constitutional requirement that our schools be "general and uniform."
However, the disparity created by the tax-credit program pales in comparison to the inequity driven by other loopholes in Arizona's school finance system.

The Arizona Tax Research Association would like to correct an important error in the Arizona Capitol Times (July 11). The National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers union in the nation, ranks Arizona 29th for school year 2012-13 in average salaries for K-12 “public school teachers.” The Capitol Times article incorrectly reported Arizona at 42nd.

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled Friday that Arizona schools are owed $317 million in funding for the upcoming budget year, because of the state legislature's failure to properly fund education.

Arizona lawmakers have slashed $1 billion from public education dollars in recent years and gone to court to avoid mandatory increases in school funding. Now they want taxpayers to directly cover the costs of new construction, repairs, equipment and school buses.
