Advocating for the unique educational needs of AZ's Latino students, parents and community.

Student voice must be at the center of every strategic plan to ensure it reflects the evolving needs of our students. Proud to partner with @MASBA_US at our recent Student Empowerment Summit—equipping students to advocate and influence policy.

This action especially hurts students of color who make up the majority of AZ's K12 schools.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

The executive order signed today to dismantle the Department of Education is unconstitutional.

We (@AAPolicyForum) call on Congress to do its job & uphold Article I of the Constitution by not allowing an agency it created, authorized & funded to be stolen from the people.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

I'm joining 13 of my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration immediately releases Mahmoud Khalil. Their illegal actions set a dangerous precedent. We cannot allow them to shred our constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

This sounds like all parties involved agree that ESA purchases aren't being audited effectively. What's the ADE's suggestion for how to better protect our taxpayers dollars that are being lost through ESA fraud?

[Arizona Department of Education @azedschools]

Gov. Hobbs sends Tom Horne a letter critical of how ESA purchases are audited. SHE SIGNED the bill REQUIRING that method.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Teachers and American children suffer the consequences of mass migration, too. Most migrant children lack English proficiency, making it tougher to manage a classroom and instruct other students. https://t.co/h7vSwVmVyG

[The_AZLSBA @The_AZLSBA]

Closing the U.S. Department of Education (@usedgov) has got to be the most uninformed, politically motivated, and uneducated policy decision that will harm every student in the U.S. and their families. Strong leadership at the school board level is critical now.

AZ's Latino school board members honor all who have served. #VeteransDay2024

How is your school board and district celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth? Leave us a comment and share the ideas!

The State of AZ is now 50th in the nation, 2nd to LAST, in education funding. It is important to remember what population is most impacted and why we have to fight so hard for our public schools.

[The_AZLSBA @The_AZLSBA]

28% of AZ students miss 10% or more of the school year. That's approximately 18 days of instruction. @RepRubenGallego has introduced the "Keeping Our Students in School Act" to address #ChronicAbsenteeism.

Free meals in schools not only ease financial burdens, but also create a positive culture in school cafeterias, with students appearing happier and more engaged. Check out the work @TollesonESD is doing 👇

AZ's school voucher scam in action. 👇

[Brahm Resnik @brahmresnik]

School vouchers can't buy dune buggies, per split vote by Arizona State Board of Education. https://t.co/Ioozf72Qq3 via @azcentral

"This short-term approach causes long-term leaks from our teacher pipeline, as underprepared teachers are 2-3 times more likely to leave within their 1st year."
