Arizona lawmakers voted Wednesday to let public school districts spend all the money they were promised by the state, eliminating the risk that schools would abruptly lay off teachers or close before the end of the year.
spend all the money they were promised by the state, eliminating the risk that schools would abruptly lay off teachers or close before the end of the year.
"Our teachers can focus on giving students every opportunity to achieve success, not shutting down classrooms," Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs said in a statement. But school expenses have grown considerably, due in part to the proliferation of technology that didn’t exist in the 1980s. Other factors have combined to trigger the cap as well.
Lifting the cap lasts for one year. A permanent fix would require voter approval. Otherwise, lawmakers will likely face the same issue again next year.
