A disturbing news report recently revealed that nearly 30
percent of school buses in Arizona failed safety inspections last year. It
also showed that Arizona’s school bus inspection failure rate is among the
highest in the nation.
How does that happen? Could it be because of the shocking
amount of money Republicans have cut Now,
most schools get only $77 per student.
from capital funding for
schools? This is money that is used for things like ensuring school building and
buses are safe. Prior to 2008, schools got around $450 per student for capital
expenses – which is money used for things like building and school bus safety.

Enough is enough. It’s time for Republican leaders to
answer for their poor choices and lack of leadership. Democrats will continue to
hold them accountable and fight to get our schools, teachers and students the
resources needed to ensure both safety and success.
