Support

The need to support these bonds for the schools is great, currently Arizona ranks the lowest in state spending for schools and lowest in the teacher to student ratio, meaning there are more students per teacher than there should be. State and Federal cut backs are inevitable and will get worse in the coming years, extra money is needed in order to keep the schools running. This vote is seen as a desperate need by some to help schools while they are hurting most.
