Arizona Senate revives Success by Six funding bill
The Senate Education Committee approved an amended Success by Six bill 7-2 to move it to the full Senate. Sen Bev Hermon added the original funding to Health Start Healthy Families and at risk preschool programs, forcing public debate on the measure. The bill carries a $15 million next year price tag and faces House roadblocks from Rep. Bob Burns who opposes funding for two programs. Carol Kamin of the Children’s Actions Alliance supports ongoing studies to track program effectiveness and potential long term savings.
