 Arizona Debate continues...




August 11, 2005...Napolitano, GOP leaders resume talks;1st meeting in 3 months  Gov. Janet Napolitano and the top Republican leaders from the House and Senate took the first step toward patching up a seriously damaged relationship Wednesday and possibly ending a bitter stalemate over money for English-language learners and a corporate tuition tax credit for private schools. Napolitano vetoed an English-learner plan supported by Weiers and Bennett, calling it inadequate because it added only $13.5 million in new money and forced schools to apply for grants in future years. Napolitano proposed a more expensive funding plan earlier this summer, supported by Hogan, that would spend about $185 million a year to shrink class sizes and better train teachers.


Lack of appropriate funding for ELL continues...Aug. 3, 2005
Associated Press

"Napolitano said lawmakers need to deal with it sooner rather than later. 'We need to solve this problem as opposed to litigating it,' she said. In the wake of lawsuit plaintiffs going to court to turn up the heat on state lawmakers, Gov. Janet Napolitano says a special session of the Legislature may be needed to resolve a long-standing school funding issue that could jeopardize federal funding for highway construction in Arizona."
The lawsuit plaintiffs asked the judge in the case to expedite his consideration of their request for sanctions. Otherwise, it could be months before there's a ruling and easily January before the Legislature is forced to act, the plaintiffs' lawyers said. Given that the students are not adequately learning English and are failing the AIMS graduation test in large numbers, "they need relief now, not next January," the motion stated


Make a difference! Call the Governor’s office at (602-542-4331) to thank her for this courageous advocacy on behalf of English Language Learners in our schools.

Our action makeS a difference!
