A Trusted Resource to Track Key Votes in K-12 Education The Friends of ASBA, a sister organization of the Arizona School Boards Association, is dedicated to providing resources that lead to more informed public discussion of K-12 education in Arizona and greater understanding and support for our state’s public schools and the more than 1 million students who attend them. Our mission, developed and supported by a board of directors comprised of current and former school board members from throughout Arizona, is providing both the public and key stakeholder groups access to information on high-priority, high-impact education policy issues.

The Friends of ASBA is focused on educating the people of Arizona so we, as a state, can do a better job of prioritizing the importance of education for all children.

This publication focuses on the impact of the Arizona Legislature, specifically the votes of individual legislators on key bills impacting K-12 education. On these pages, we look at voting records of Arizona legislators on 10 significant bills introduced last session that focused on funding, vouchers and local control..

School board members and other school district leaders will be familiar with the color-coded voting records format, which provides at-a-glance insights into the level of support – or lack of support – each Arizona legislator provided for Arizona public schools and the local school boards who govern them. The Arizona School Boards Association has published voting records like this for many years. The Friends of ASBA has stepped into this role for the second year, amplifying the valuable voting records with additional legislative district data that illuminates the populations and constituents served, as well as voter participation and registration.

It’s a powerful combination that we hope will inspire discussion within your communities. Education remains the top priority for Arizona voters. The quality of education our students receive, without a doubt, is helped or hindered by legislative action.

It’s important to honor those state representatives who support our work to bolster and better our state’s public schools and hold those accountable that do not.

I encourage you to use this resource to do just that.

Sincerely,

Dr. Timothy L. OgleExecutive Director, Friends of ASBA

Using the Voting RecordsArizona’s 90 elected state legislators serve constituents in our state’s 30 legislative districts. Each district has two representatives, who serve in the state House of Representatives, and one senator, who serves in the State Senate.. On the following pages, you will find an overview of each legislative district and a record of legislators’ votes to highlight those who support and do not support public education in Arizona.

The information is separated into two pages. The first includes data about the legislative district itself with the names and party affiliation of each elected representative, the partisan split of registered voters, and data regarding voter turnout in 2014 general election. It also includes race/ethnicity of the total population, and the population under age 18 within the district. Also, note the number of school districts within each legislative district and the student enrollment of each.

The second page displays the voting record of each legislator in that district on key K-12 education bills. These are grouped into three focus areas: funding, vouchers and local control.

Legislator Accountability – How Did Your Legislators Vote On Key Legislation in the 2016 Legislative Session?The 2016 session of the Arizona Legislature adjourned sine die at 5:45 a.m. on Friday, May 7, 2016, after 118 days. The general effective date for non-emergency bills is August 6, 2016. Appropriation bills and bills with an emergency clause are effective immediately upon the signature of the governor.

This year, thanks to the tireless efforts of people like you, the education community celebrated a few wins: JTED funding was restored, declining districts were held harmless under the move to current year funding and no new cuts took place. This is all thanks to your voices. Without you, our mission to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed would not be possible. However, our work is not done. As we move into election season, it is more crucial than ever that you hold your legislators accountable for the positive and negative votes they cast.

EXTRA CREDIT – NEW THIS YEARWe realize merely displaying voting records doesn’t tell the whole story. A great majority of our advocacy efforts happen behind the scenes. Each year a handful of legislators go the extra mile to advocate for public education, which often goes unnoticed. That is why this year Friends of ASBA has included extra credit within our voting records. Just like when a student goes above and beyond in the classroom, we want to recognize those individuals who go above and beyond at the Capitol. We hope that by including this extra credit, it will show the work that is not always captured by a yes or no vote.

Please use this information to stay informed and involved in the decisions being made for your community. As always, be sure to communicate with your legislators regarding their positive and negative votes cast on K-12 education policy.

HB 2401 schools; desegregation funding; phase-down (Leach) This bill would have phased out desegregation funding over a period of 10 years. ASBA Opposed; Retained on House Committee of the Whole Calendar.

*HB 2002 statewide special election (Gowan) This bill authorized a special election on May 17, 2016 for a constitutional amendment regarding education finance. **ASBA Supported; Chapter 2; 2015 Laws.

VouchersSB 1279/HB2482 empowerment scholarships; expansion; phase-in (Lesko & Olson) These bills would have drastically expanded the ESA program; one expanding the program to any student qualifies for free and reduced lunch and the other to any child beginning school year 2018-2019.

Local ControlSB 1282 public records; unduly burdensome requests (Kavanagh) This bill would have provided a defense to any action on the denial of access to unduly burdensome or harassing public records requests. ASBA Supported; Failed House Third Read on a 19-40 vote.
