Arizona taxpayers send billions to school districts every year expecting that money will reach students and teachers. Most often, it doesn't.

SCR1032/HCR2007 fixes that. 

Voters should have a say about the accountability of their tax dollars. SCR1032/HCR2007 is critical because:

• Arizonans already voted to fund classrooms and districts should spend like it. Prop 301 created the Classroom Site Fund specifically to boost teacher pay. This bill ensures that money actually gets there.

• Right now there is no minimum standard. Districts can spend the majority of funds on administration and bureaucracy with no accountability. That needs to end.

• 60% to instruction is a reasonable floor, not a radical demand, and is easily achievable when districts prioritize teachers over bloat.

• Consequences are gradual and fair. Districts get two waiver years plus a step-up penalty structure, six years total before facing full consequences. That's more than enough runway. Additionally, rural districts are exempted.

• Every withheld dollar stays in public education. Funds aren't lost, they're redistributed to schools that are doing the right thing.

SCR1032/HCR2007 is about making sure taxpayer dollars actually reach the classroom instead of disappearing into administrative overhead, which is what voters expect.

We need to solidify SCR1032/HCR2007's place on the ballot and let Arizona voters decide.
