Electoral Problem in Arizona by Charter
September 24, 2018 - por ITPI.
Arizona: Charter school reform has become an election issue. “Democrats say they have long argued for reform and now accuse Republicans of jumping on an issue because it’s politically expedient. ‘This could have been solved a long time ago, and it wasn’t, and it was ignored,’ says Christine Marsh, who was Arizona’s Teacher of the Year in 2016 and is also a Democrat running for the Arizona Senate in Dist. 28 against current Republican Senator Kate Brophy McGee. Marsh says Republicans have had several chances over the years to tackle charter school reform by passing bills backed by Democrats, but never did. ‘They have shut down debate and discussion about it. It’s not even getting intelligent conversation.’”
