In the general election earlier this month, many Arizona voters decided on ballot items impacting public schools. But how does that process actually fund buildings and operations? This episode breaks down the complex system of Arizona school finance.

Hosts Tom Collins and Gina Roberts from the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission talk to Glenn Farley from the Common Sense Institute about his research on school capital finance formulas. 

We cover the basics of AZ school capital finance, policy & impact since the great recession, practical advice for voters on how to research and understand school-related propositions and bonds, and more.
