AEA STATEMENT ON COURT RULING TODAY.

HCR2040 Proves Arizona Needs Pro-Education Leaders

PHOENIX – Arizona Education Association President Marisol Garcia released the following statement after the Maricopa County Superior Court declared HCR2040 unconstitutional:

"While our state's educator shortage reaches crisis level with no end in sight, our elected leaders spent precious hours of this year's legislative session cooking up HCR2040 to target educators, police and firefighters and undermine our ability to advocate for ourselves and our students.

The Superior Court struck down HCR2040, but the only way to protect educators is by changing leadership and putting pro-education candidates in office."
