1 How Arizona Legislators Voted in 2015 on High Priority K-12 Education Bills

2 The Friends of ASBA is a 501(c)(4) private, non-profit organization that provides information on high-priority, high-impact policy issues related to K-12 education in Arizona, leading to greater public understanding and support for public education in Arizona. This guide is intended to be factual, non-partisan and a key resource for voters who want to take into account education issues when casting their ballots. We are proud to be a sister organization of the Arizona School Boards Association.

4 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 highpriority, 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 vouchers, standards, funding 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 and every 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 among your communities. Education remains the top priority for Arizona voters surpassing other state issues. 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. Ogle Executive Director, Friends of ASBA 4 Friends of ASBA, a sister organization of the Arizona School Boards Association

5 Using the Voting Records Arizona s 90 elected state legislators serve constituents in our state s 30 legislative districts. Each district has two representatives who serve in the House and one who serves in the Senate. On the following pages, we provide a snapshot of each legislative district and a record of legislators support or lack of support for public education in Arizona. The information for each legislative district is shown on two pages. The first page includes data about the legislative district itself. This data includes the names and party affiliation of elected representatives, a look at the partisan split of registered voters in the district and data on Voter Turnout in 2014, plus details of the race/ethnicity of the district s total population and under age 18 population. Of major importance from an accountability perspective is the number of school districts located in the legislative district and the student enrollment in each. The second page includes a record of how legislators representing that district voted on significant K-12 education bills that came before them in the last legislative session, and are grouped in four key areas: Vouchers, standards, funding and local control. Legislator Accountability How Did Your Legislators Vote On Key Legislation In The 2015 Legislative Session? The 2015 Legislative Session adjourned sine die on Thursday, April 3rd at 3:37 a.m. after an 81-day session. The General Effective date for chaptered bills is July 3rd, 2015 unless it was passed with an emergency or retroactivity clause. ASBA is committed to ensuring our members voices are heard at the Capitol, as well as the executive and regulatory arena; however, it is the work that you do each and every day, overcoming challenging obstacles, to ensure students have every opportunity for success that is essential. You, the Heros of Public Education (HOPE), give our students hope and it is why these voting records are so key. Your job to ensure our students have a quality education is either supported or hindered by legislative action. We must honor those who help us and hold those accountable that do not. The following bill summaries represent many of the significant policy bills affecting K-12 public education identified by Governmental Relations. For a detailed summary of K-12 education bills, please consult the Legislative Wrap-Up Brief. There was one important bill that we chose not to include in the voting records. SB 1476 (K-12 education; budget reconciliation; ), the K-12 education budget bill that includes the policy and implementation items for the Fiscal Year ASBA worked diligently on two key changes: 1) the session law change to the Sources: Arizona Department of Education, U.S. Census 2012 ( and Arizona Secretary of State ( Friends of ASBA, a sister organization of the Arizona School Boards Association 5

6 classroom spending definition and 2) reporting requirements on the feasibility of implementing current year funding. Working with the executive branch and key legislators, both of these items were included and we are appreciative of those efforts. Thus, while we still opposed the bill that includes implementation for the K-12 cuts that incurred, the voting records on this item didn t necessarily reflect the strong work by legislators to get those changes included. Hence, we ve included the main budget bill that specifically references the K-12 funding cuts as part of the voting records. Again, please be sure to communicate with your legislators regarding their voting record, holding them accountable for the positive and negative votes cast on K-12 education legislation.
