Arizona lawmakers last week approved d a plan to waive the cap on school spending for this year, avoiding millions of dollars-worth of cuts in the last few months of the school year.

So, what’s the next move for those in the education community?
To talk about that and other issues, The Show checked in with Rich Nickel, president and CEO of the advocacy group Education Forward Arizona.
