What Do The Many K-12 Funding Plans Say About Education, Arizona Funding?

A lot of plans for how to fund Arizona’s K-12 schools have been making headlines in recent weeks. So what do all of these proposals say about K-12 education and, more specifically, its funding in Arizona?

It seems that not long ago, there was disagreement over whether the state really did need to put a lot more money into education. But now the conversation has shifted to just how much more should be spent. Former Arizona state schools superintendent Lisa Graham Keegan and former state lawmaker Rich Crandall, who was also head of the Wyoming Department of Education, spoke about the issue.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
