Arizona School Funding and Adequacy of Funding

This brief provides a summary and analysis of a survey taken in the fall of 2005. The survey was conducted with a distribution of questionnaires to all of the district superintendents in the state of Arizona. Responses were received from 116 individuals out of a population of 227. These superintendents represented all three types of school districts: Unified (K-12); High School (9-12); and Elementary (K-8). Findings demonstrate the respondents were not significantly skewed by type of district and are representative of the population.
