How $9.5 Million From The State Budget Could Benefit Charter Schools' Transportation

Gov. Doug Ducey unveiled his state budget plan last month, and it’s a $12.6 billion spending plan. So you’d be forgiven if you didn’t notice the estimated $9.5 million for a grant program that would be devoted to improving school transportation.
