school districts; aggregate expenditure limitation.
This proposed constitutional amendment would establish annual spending limits for Arizona school districts based on adjusted 1979-1980 spending levels, adjusted for student population growth and inflation. The limit is calculated as 1.10 times the adjusted baseline amount, prohibiting districts from exceeding this cap using local revenues (excluding specific exempted funds like federal grants, bond proceeds, and self-supporting school services). Districts could exceed the limit only if the legislature passes a two-thirds vote concurrent resolution. The measure directly affects all public school districts and community college districts in Arizona by constraining their local budget flexibility.
