Measure A school aid bill set back in Senate committee
The proposal to create a 120 million School Facilities Assistance Fund aimed at property poor districts faced a 4-4 defeat in the Senate Education Committee after opponents from Mesa and other districts argued a ban on transferring capital funds to operating budgets would hurt school finances. Gov Symington supported the measure earlier, and supporters expect a revival in a new form. The plan would fund bonds via state land trust money with a gradual 10 million annually over 20 years, with districts expected to repay part of the costs. East Valley districts including Apache Junction Queen Creek and Higley would benefit alongside larger districts like Gilbert and Mesa.
