PHOENIX — There was a common theme among public comment in the Arizona State Board of Education’s meeting on Monday.
“In the preliminary estimates, we had advised districts to commit 80% of their funds rather than their usual 90%,” Superintendent Tom Horne said in the meeting. Regardless, that means they have to cut programs, which their summer school will no longer be able to accommodate about 1,100 students. “We'd have to readjust the budgets as well as set aside some things. It's challenging when we don't have that communication from the Arizona Department of Education and hadn't had it all along,” Yslas told ABC15.
Multiple board members asked questions of ADE’s business officer, Chris Brown, after he gave his presentation on the reduction in funding.
