As my final act in office, I’m proud to announce a $6.75 million investment in school meals. Students qualifying for reduced-price meals will have their fees waived beginning in January through the end of school year 2023-2024.

[Kathy Hoffman @Supt_Hoffman]

And lastly, I hope you continue to be relentless optimists for our kids.

I will miss all of you dearly. Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey.

When I first ran for office, I said that our public schools needed a relentless optimist. I’m proud to say at the end of this journey as State Superintendent, that my optimism has only grown through the work we have accomplished at ADE.

[Kathy Hoffman @Supt_Hoffman]

Together we led our schools through the most difficult time in their history, and I am proud of all we achieved.
To every educator and partner across the state, it is my ask that you continue to faithfully support our students to the very best of your ability. I know you will.

[Kathy Hoffman @Supt_Hoffman]

To help our public schools and support our students, Arizona must do more to support working families.

Arizona is for everyone, and everyone finds it special in their own way.

With that in mind, our Inaugural Committee is excited to launch an art contest among our next generation of leaders to see what “An Arizona for Everyone” means to them. #AZforEveryone

Districts like Mesa Public Schools stand to lose $88 million if we do not lift the AEL spending cap.

Solving this issue is not complicated, and it does not increase taxes. It is a simple vote that cannot wait until next session.
