Symington education budget prompts cautious welcome
East Valley educators welcomed Gov. Fife Symington’s proposed education budget but remained skeptical about its funding. The plan calls for a 147.8 million increase for K-12, with total education funding at 1.6 billion and a 48 million inflation boost. Critics note inflation could top 2 percent, effectively cutting education funding, and object to a 21 million set aside for a broader reform package including a voucher plan. Public educators insist reform funds should accompany existing services, while the Arizona Students’ Association vows to oppose using tuition to fund university pay raises.
