Even before the results of the Prop. 123 special election were known, teachers, students, parents and community members came together at the #NowItStarts rally at the state capitol on Thursday afternoon to focus on the serious funding issues Arizona schools face Arizonans are ready to discuss concrete steps for further investments in public schools, said The Rev. Martha Seaman with Valley Interfaith Project.
"The relentless pattern of disinvestment has to stop," Seaman said at the rally.
"The future of our families and our shared prosperity requires strong schools.," Seaman said. "We can't have a viable economy without a high level of education. It's the best investment we can make. We can't tax break ourselves into prosperity."
