PHOENIX — Hispanic leaders in Arizona have expressed their support for the negotiated settlement in the state’s K-through-12 education funding lawsuit.
Latino children now make up the largest single group of students in Arizona. Because of that, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce stated that the negotiations made in the lawsuit lay the groundwork to ensure Latino students receive a quality education which they believe will benefit the state’s economy.
Settling the lawsuit, however, is just the first step Hispanic leaders want to see made.
“We have to look at the broader issues that are all connected to (education funding) and go beyond just a question of how the lawsuit was settled,” James Garcia, a spokesperson for the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce said. “This proposal that was devised and passed on Friday isn’t the end of the discussion and can’t be the end of the discussion.”
Garcia said lawmakers need to continue putting more dollars into the classroom to ensure Latino students thrive.

Mr. O: It seems that you are bringing up Hispanic/Latino and racist and all manner of demons residing in your head. What you lack in qualification though, you certainly makeup for in pimpery.
This story is not about illegals the article says nothing about illegals but racist like you hear Hispanic or Latino and start bringing up illegal children. I'm just calling you guys racist your the one proving it
Mr. Mind: Hopefully someone was quick enough to stick as bite guard in your mouth saving your tongue when that wrenching seizure occurred and you're stabilized. I noticed too that you called upon your highpower exhorting what you believe is your power talisman "racist". A quaint, though futile chant really, to rally the hosts of h (ell) to your side.
The issue at hand affects Americans of all ethnicity/ies who are legally residing in the United States supporting those that aren't.
