Why is Prop. 320 a trick?

It has to do with wording.

AZ spends nearly 7 in every 10 dollars in the classroom, so why would it be hard to spend the 60% on "direct instruction" that Prop. 320 requires?

The trick: The "direct instruction" required by Prop. 320 leaves out special education supports and therapies, counselors, nurses, librarians, math and literacy coaches, transportation, feeding kids, school sports, school safety and security, A/C, and more.

While the state average for classroom spending is 68%, the average for "direct instruction" is 52%. This means districts would have to cut close to 20% of the rest of their budget in order to meet the unclear, one-size fits-all mandate of Prop 320.

And if schools don’t meet it? The district’s allocation from the Classroom Site Fund — which funds teacher pay‼️ — would be slashed by 25% every year. After 4 years, it would be zeroed out, spelling devastating cuts to teacher pay and more.
