PHOENIX — Calling it a “ticking time bomb,” Gov. Katie Hobbs on Monday told lawmakers they need to override the aggregate expenditure limit for education — and soon.
The new governor laid out plans for a “historic investment in schools” and revamping a formula for additional aid to education. Hobbs also told lawmakers she wants more money for school counselors, saying Arizona has, on average, only one for every 700 youngsters.
“This is the highest ratio in the nation and nearly three times the recommended standard,’’ she said.
