Governor Katie Hobbs, along with Senate Leader Priya Sundareshan and House Leader Oscar De Los Santos, reached an agreement to prevent disruptions in the Isaac School District and Tolleson Union High School District. The deal ensures students remain in class and teachers are paid, maintaining educational stability and financial certainty, according to the Office of the Governor.
The statement says, "We are relieved that the appointed receiver for the Isaac School District has found a path forward that avoids disruptions to the school year for students and parents, and ensures educators get paid what they deserve." It also mentions support for the Attorney General’s inquiry into the issues that led to the situation, as reported by the Office of the Governor.
Governor Hobbs and her Democratic colleagues have called for the resignation of the Isaac School District Board leadership, citing failures in managing public funds and services. Their joint statement declares, "Our children, parents, and educators deserve nothing less," emphasizing the need for stronger oversight to prevent future crises and ensure Arizona’s school districts operate smoothly, as stated by the Office of the Governor.
