Public Forums
Community Engagement Forums - Public engagement has been funded in part by a grant from the Arizona Community Foundation. The Public Engagement Project, in partnership with
Maricopa Community College's Center for Civic Participation, launched a series of statewide community engagement forums to inform and engage stakeholders on the issue of school finance. The purpose of the
first series of forums was to educate key stakeholders at the grassroots level about school finance, how it works, define the vocabulary, and to ask guiding questions about efficiency and adequacy.
A second series will build upon that information with a presentation on the "prototype" for a new school finance system under consideration for public deliberation. Forums have been held in the following communities:
- Casa Grande
- Flagstaff
- Mesa
- Peoria
- Prescott Valley
- Sierra Vista
- Tucson
- Verde Valley
- Yuma
