What happened
Gilbert Public Schools reported a $7.5 million decrease in annual revenue and a $3.2 million increase in expenses, which is attributed to lower student enrollment. Additionally, Proposition 320 would require most school districts to dedicate at least 60% of their operational spending to direct instructional expenses.
Why it matters
The new spending requirement, which leaves the definition of "direct instructional expenses" to the Arizona Auditor General, could require Gilbert Public Schools to address an estimated $26 million gap between current spending classifications and the new mandate.
Both Mississippi and Arizona are currently showing significant declines in student enrollment.
