Pyle Proposes Equalization Fund for Arizona Schools
Governor Howard Pyle submitted a bill to House Speaker Raymond Langham proposing an equalization fund for schools. The plan would keep the $115 per student baseline, require districts to levy a 50 cent per $100 tax, and adjust the equalization amount by a living cost index. The constitutionality of the fund is questioned and a referendum amendment may be prepared. The governor also backed a use tax on out-of-state merchandise with no exceptions in the bill.
