IGTIGT Phase I Summary Statements - Draft 2/18/11

Summary Number: 34
 
Increase State and local funding for education and schools
 
 "Change State funding for education."
 "Our most valuable asset is our children and young people, and the lack of education funding keeps them from developing to their highest potential"
 "As a former public school teacher, I feel that the schools in this area are not funded adequately to keep pace with making sure the children are prepared for the future."
 "AZ ranks at the bottom of the pile for education funding - Fix It!!"
 "The children are our future. Arizona ranks 49th in funding of education. Our current legislators have voting records showing they do not support education."
 ". . . the price to attend the U of A is way beyond the salaries of the average non-privileged Tucsonan. Higher education is becoming an elitist dream."
