If you live in AZ and fear for the future of education, please wear black today! As of today, teachers contracts are no longer for the year...You're child's teacher can be let go at any time, for any reason...We are now behind Puerto Rico on per pupil spending... The state is planning a VERY large RIF(Reduction in Force) this year and senority and performance DO NOT have to be taken into account! Class sizes may rise to as many as 40 students to 1 teacher.
