expenditure limitation; school districts; repeal

SCR 1033 proposes to repeal Arizona's constitutional spending limits for school districts. Currently, these limits tie annual spending to 1979-80 levels adjusted for student population and inflation, with a 10% multiplier for aggregate district spending. The bill would remove these restrictions, allowing school districts greater flexibility in budgeting without the need for special legislative approval to exceed previous spending caps. This change would directly affect all Arizona public school districts by eliminating a long-standing constitutional spending framework. The proposal is a constitutional amendment requiring voter approval after legislative passage.
