Failing Our Schools, Part 1:
Brewer, Republicans cut $1.1 billion from education
PHOENIX – Arizona students begin heading back to school this week. When they arrive, many will find fewer teachers, larger class sizes, and the elimination of programs such as music, art and physical education.
“Jan Brewer and her Republican Legislature are working furiously to distract voters with divisive, headline-grabbing issues,” said Luis Heredia, Arizona Democratic Party executive director. “They’re deflecting attention from the most important issue of all: their record.”
The Republicans’ record on education gets top billing on their resume of failure. Thanks to them, Arizona is 49th lowest in education funding. Since Brewer took office, Republicans have cut $1.1 billion from K-12 education in Arizona. [U.S. Census; Joint Legislative Budget Committee]
