(The Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth, which previously supported public education funding under the voter-approved Prop. 208, has taken an active role during this Arizona Legislative session in reviewing a variety of proposed educational measures including those that would have a negative impact on Arizona’s education system such as: HB 2112, which would prohibit education related to historical trauma and injustices; and SB 1131, the Empowerment Scholarship Accounts expansion bill. CCC&Y does not support voucher or tax credit expansion until public education funding is addressed. Please click here to see our positions during this legislative session.)

Education Forward Arizona conducted a poll of Arizona voters to better understand voters’ priorities for education.

What we found is that Arizonans deeply care most about the issues that will support good teaching and learning, not the political hot button issues that often get the most attention. Voters want to see candidates discussing key education issues, many of which are aligned with meeting the Arizona Education Progress Meter and Achieve60AZ attainment goals.
