A Trusted Resource to Find Allies in K-12 Education

The Friends of ASBA, a sister organization of the Arizona School Boards Association and

separate 501(c)(4) corporation, is dedicated to leading a more informed public discussion of

K-12 education in Arizona and fostering greater understanding and support for our public

schools and the more than 1 million-plus students who attend them. The mission of the board of

directors is to provide a strong, equal-access, issue-focused voice that is pro-public education.

The Friends of ASBA is focused on educating the people of Arizona so we, as a state, continue

to prioritize a quality public education for all children as both a civic and an economic virtue.

This publication focuses on the impact of the Arizona Legislature, specifically the votes of

individual legislators on key bills impacting K-12 education and district public schools. Within

this book, you’ll also find key demographics on the students in your legislative district and what

makes them unique.

School board members and other school district leaders are familiar with the color-coded

voting records format, which provides at-a-glance insights into the level of support – or lack

of support – each Arizona legislator provided for Arizona public school districts and the local

school boards who govern them.

This sixth edition of the Friends of ASBA voting record has been updated with additional legislative

district data that illuminates the populations and constituents served, voter participation and

registration from the 2018 election, and indicates whether your state representatives supported

advancing a pro K-12 education agenda this session.

Please use this book as a guide to decide which candidates earn your support in the primary

and general elections this fall. Now more than ever, we must hold our elected officials to a

higher standard and work to elect and retain candidates who don’t merely say they support

public education, but are fighting along with us.

We encourage you to share this resource far and wide.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sheila Harrison-Williams

Executive Director, Friends of ASBA

Using the Voting Records

Arizona’s 90 elected state legislators serve constituents in our state’s 30 legislative districts.

Each district has two representatives, who serve in the state House of Representatives, and

one senator, who serves in the State Senate. On the following pages, you will find an overview

of each legislative district and a record of legislators’ votes to highlight those who support and

do not support public education in Arizona.

The information is separated into two pages. The first includes data about the legislative

district itself with the names and party affiliation of each elected representative, the partisan

split of registered voters, and data regarding voter turnout in the 2018 general election. it also

includes the most recently available census data on race/ethnicity of the total population, and

the population under age 18 within the district. Also, note the number of school districts within

each legislative district and the student enrollment of each.

The second page displays the voting record of each legislator in that district on key K-12

education bills.

Friend of Public Education

Legislators will be rated on whether their overall record during the session was supportive of

public education or not, in the estimation of Friends of ASBA. This rating is based on voting

record, but also how helpful (or not) a given legislator was in advancing the ASBA political

agenda during the legislative session, and how the legislator acted toward public education

in general. A legislator may earn thumbs up, thumbs sideways or thumbs down. This is based

in part on the member’s voting record, but also on other issues that may occur behind the

scenes, such as helping to get bills heard (or not) in committee, helping to prevent bad bills

from advancing, etc. Helpful actions are recognized by “extra credit.” New this year, we also

consider the relative competitiveness of the legislative district. The bar on each district page

indicates whether a district is most likely to elect a Democrat (blue) or Republican (red); the

most competitive districts will be toward the purple center. incumbents are evaluated in part

based on how helpful they are relative to the partisan makeup of their district. Members are

also evaluated based on whether the member is accessible and/or open to dialogue. This is

intended to help our supporters determine at a glance which legislators have been helpful to

Arizona public schools and the 1 million-plus students who attend them. You will note that the

closer partisan split has had something of a moderating influence on this Legislature, though

there are still many clear distinctions.

Champions of Public Education

Returning for 2020 as we head into a new election cycle are “champions of public education.”

These members have been consistent allies on education issues for their entire term and are

noted by a special trophy icon.

Legislator Accountability – How Did Your Legislators Vote On Key Legislation in the 2020 Legislative Session?

The Fifty-Fourth Legislature, Second Regular Session adjourned sine die at 11:21 a.m. on Tuesday,

May 26, 2020, after 135 days. This session was defined by an unprecedented interruption

of Legislative business due to COViD-19 as the Legislature, along with the rest of Arizona,

suspended much of its activity during March and April. The general effective date for non-

emergency bills is Aug. 25, 2020. Appropriation bills and bills with an emergency clause are

effective immediately upon the signature of the governor.

Without you, our advocates, our mission to ensure the success of all students would not be

possible. This interim, we encourage you to use this guide to engage with others to educate

them on how their representatives act over time. The following bill summaries represent the

pieces of legislation we felt had the greatest impact on K-12 schools this session. Although

most were voted on in some form in each chamber, not all were passed into law this year due

to the shortened session. For a detailed summary of these bills and more, please consult the

Comprehensive Legislative Wrap Up Brief published by ASBA.

Importance of the 2020 CensusThe census is an important part of our political process that makes sure communities have accurate congressional representation and receive their fair share of federal funding.

Preparing for Census 2020 begins long before Census Day and work continues until the counts are delivered to the president.

The U.S. Constitution requires a count – or census – of the United States’ population each decade.

These census results determine the number of seats for each state in the U.S. House of Representatives and the distribution of more than $675 billion in federal funds each year that impact public schools and communities.

For example, public schools receive federal funds based on census counts for the National School Lunch Program, special education (IDEA) grants, Head Start/Early Head Start, Title I grants to local education agencies and health center programs as well as child care and development entitlement funds.

It’s important to remember that your census responses and personal information are protected by law and remain confidential.

Census responses may only be used by the U.S. Census Bureau to produce statistics.

Census responses cannot be shared with immigration or law enforcement or be used to determine a person’s eligibility for government benefits.

Here is a timeline for some of the key dates for Census 2020.
