Important Election Date November 6 General Election 2018 Ballot Recommendations Local Association Recommendations Vote YES on Prop 127 Proposition 127, the Clean Energy for Healthy Arizona initiative, will ensure future generations have access to clean and reliable energy. As educators, we have a basic responsibility to leave our students a healthy and prosperous future. We also must prepare them for a 21st Century global economy and ensure that our state remains relevant and competitive in a world driven by innovation and technology. AEA recommends voting yes on Proposition 127. This measure protects our air and water, creates thousands of good-paying jobs for Arizonans, and ensures future generations have access to clean and reliable energy.

Vote NO on Prop 305 AEA has long opposed private school vouchers because they divert essential resources from our public schools to private and religious schools with no accountability. Arizona can't afford to fund two school systems when the state isn't fully funding one. Proposition 305 would expand private school voucher eligibility to all public school students, draining even more funding from our starved public education system. AEA recommends voting no on Prop 305. Learn more about the No on Prop 305 campaign at teamsosarizona.com. You can also request a yard sign to proudly display your opposition to vouchers and support for our public schools. Vote NO on Prop 126 At a time when our state is underfunding our schools and has failed to fi x a four-year teacher shortage crisis, it does not make sense for Arizona to restrict its revenue options. This measure would amend the state constitution to prevent the state, cities, and towns from choosing to raise revenue by taxing services, such as fees for attorneys, accounting, interior design, wealth management, and so on. AEA urges you to protect local control and future revenue options for education funding and recommends voting no on Prop 126. Flagstaff Education Association recommends voting yes on the Flagstaff Unifi ed School District M&O Override and Bond, and on local measures 423 and 424. Holbrook Education Association recommends yes on the Holbrook Unifi ed School District M&O Override. Paradise Valley Education Association recommends Julie Bacon and Susan Matura for the Paradise Valley Unifi ed School Board. Tucson Education Association recommends Adelita Grijalva for the Tucson Unifi ed School Board.
