Phoenix, Arizona - Arizona Support for Prop 301:
Dr. Camille Casteel, Chandler Unified School District Superintendent
"I’m very encouraged by Governor @dougducey & Arizona Legislature’s bipartisan efforts to renew Prop. 301 funding and avoid the impending financial cliff for schools."
Dr. Paul Tighe, Saddle Mountain Unified School District Superintendent
"Today the Legislature passed SB1390 and sent it to the Governor. This essentially renews Proposition 301 for another 20 years, protecting nearly $6,000 per teacher per year in compensation for AZ teachers!"
Dr. Perry Berry, Queen Creek Unified School District Superintendent
"A big win for AZ public schools came today when the Legislature and Gov Ducey @dougducey passed the extension of Prop 301 for another 20 years! Thank you Rep Coleman @douglas_coleman, Sen McGee @KateMcGeeAZ and ALL the leaders who made this happen..a step in the right direction!"
Dr. Sally Downey, East Valley Institute of Technology Superintendent
"Thank you #Arizona Legislature and Gov @dougducey for your efforts to renew Prop 301! #AZ #azleg"
Dr. Kristi Sandvik, Buckeye Elementary School District Superintendent
"Thank you to Doug Coleman and Kate Brophy McGee for hard work on addressing the funding cliff on prop 301!"
Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas
“I am excited that the Legislature agreed to extend Prop 301 sooner rather than later in order to avoid the looming fiscal cliff,” Superintendent Douglas said. “Since schools throughout the state rely so heavily on Prop 301 revenues, the funding is essentially baked into their respective budgets. Now that this extension has been passed, I am committed more than ever to increasing teacher salaries and finding new revenue streams for education as quickly as possible.”

A For Arizona
"Bravo to #Arizona lawmakers & Governor @dougducey for taking swift bipartisan action today to secure on-going resources for our public schools! By passing an extension of #Prop301, they have provided greater certainty for K-12 funding & set the stage for the future."
President Eileen Klein, President, Arizona Board of Regents
“The Arizona Legislature’s passage of Prop. 301 today signals good news for education in Arizona, ensuring dedicated revenues for public education and the teachers who prepare students for college and career. Prop. 301 also provides critical funding for technology and research initiatives at Arizona’s public universities. In 2017, TRIF revenues yielded a nearly four-to-one investment on dollars received from the state, leading to improvements in healthcare; solutions for water, environmental and energy challenges; advancements in national security systems; and workforce development.
“We applaud our Legislature for ensuring the renewal of Prop. 301, the bipartisan collaboration and the leadership of Gov. Ducey, Sen. Brophy McGee and Rep. Coleman. With the renewal of these funds, Arizona educational institutions from K-12 to our public universities are able to continue utilizing these critical dollars for the continued success of our students and our state.”
